Ingredients
For the Coffee Filling:

- 16 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Assembly:
- 24-30 ladyfinger cookies

Preparation
For the Coffee Filling:
- In a shallow dish, combine the brewed espresso and sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture for a few seconds, ensuring they are lightly soaked but not overly saturated.
- Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of an 8×8-inch serving dish.
- Spread a portion of the mascarpone filling over the ladyfingers, creating an even layer.
- Repeat the layering process, finishing with a final layer of the mascarpone filling on top.
For the Assembly:
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
- Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder using a fine sieve or sifter for an elegant finish.
- Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy the delightful marriage of coffee-infused layers in every spoonful.
