Instructions

Prepare espresso and soak biscuits: Brew 2 shots of hot espresso and immediately pour it over the crumbled ladyfinger biscuits in a shallow bowl. If using, add 1 fl oz of coffee liqueur. Let the mixture soak for 2 minutes to soften and absorb the coffee flavor.
Whisk cream mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 oz of mascarpone cheese, ⅓ cup heavy cream, ½ cup whole milk, 2 tablespoons sugar, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Assemble biscuit layer: Divide the espresso-soaked ladyfinger crumbles evenly between two large latte glasses or mugs, creating the base layer for the dessert coffee.
Add cream layer: Pour the mascarpone cream mixture over the biscuit crumbles in each glass, ensuring a generous, velvety topping.
Garnish and serve: Dust each serving liberally with unsweetened cocoa powder and optionally sprinkle with dark chocolate shavings for extra richness. Serve immediately with a spoon to enjoy the layered texture and flavors.

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the coffee liqueur.
Use freshly brewed espresso for the best intensity and flavor.
Chill the mascarpone cream mixture slightly before assembling to help it thicken further and enhance texture.
Serve immediately to enjoy the contrasting textures of crunchy coffee-soaked biscuits and creamy mascarpone.
Adjust sugar according to your preferred sweetness level.
