- - 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- - Unsweetened dark cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Brew strong coffee or espresso and let it cool. Stir in liqueur if using.
- In a bowl, beat mascarpone with sugar and vanilla until smooth.

Notes
- Chill for at least 3 hours.
- Chill your mixing bowl and beaters for best whipped cream texture
- Don't over-soak ladyfingers—they'll turn mushy.
- Use clear glass cups or jars to showcase those beautiful layers.
- For a kid-friendly version, skip the liqueur and use decaf coffee.
