Ingredients
- 1 cup of strong brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur (optional, but so good!)
- 1 cup of heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup of mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 24 ladyfingers
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- Cocoa powder and shredded coconut for garnish
Instructions
- First off, brew that coffee strong! Let it cool and then mix in the coffee liqueur if you’re using it. Set that aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This means you should be able to turn the bowl upside down without it falling out—now that’s some serious whipping!
- In another bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, being careful not to deflate that wonderful airy goodness.
- Time to dip! Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, just long enough to soak them without getting too mushy. You want them soft, not soggy!
- Now, layer those ladyfingers in a dish, followed by a layer of that creamy mascarpone mix, and sprinkle some diced mango on top.
- Repeat the layers until you run out, finishing with a creamy layer on top. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can wait (trust me, it’s worth it).
- Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and sprinkle some shredded coconut for that extra island vibe!
