Method
Preparation
- Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
- In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- In another bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the whipped cream until uniformly combined.
Layering
- Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee and place a layer of the mascarpone mixture in a serving dish.
- Add a layer of soaked ladyfingers followed by a sprinkle of fresh raspberries. Repeat the layers until ingredients run out, finishing with mascarpone.
Chilling
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
Serving
- Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with additional fresh raspberries.
Notes
Substitutions for ladyfingers can be sponge cake or homemade cookies. Make this dessert a day ahead to enhance flavor. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but avoid freezing.
