Ingredients
Scale
- 7 oz semi‑sweet or dark chocolate (for ganache)
- ½ cup heavy cream (for ganache)
- 2 cups mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups strong brewed coffee
- 1 packet ladyfingers (about 24–28)
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Make ganache: heat ½ cup cream until just simmering; pour over chopped chocolate, let sit 1 min, stir until smooth, then cool slightly.
- Brew strong coffee, sweeten to taste and let cool.
- In a bowl, whip 1 cup cream with sugar and vanilla to stiff peaks; fold into mascarpone until smooth.
- Arrange half the ladyfingers in a baking dish; briefly dip in coffee and layer them.
- Spread half the mascarpone cream, then drizzle half the ganache.
- Repeat layers: dipped ladyfingers, mascarpone, remaining ganache.
- Dust top with cocoa powder; refrigerate at least 2 hours (preferably overnight) before serving.
Notes
- Use quality chocolate (at least 60 % cocoa) for best flavor.
- Don’t over‑soak ladyfingers—quick dips keep texture intact.
- Makes ahead up to 2 days in advance—flavors improve with time.
- Optional: add coffee liqueur like Kahlúa or Marsala to soak for an adult version.
- For lighter version, omit ganache and dust extra cocoa powder.
