For the Creamy Mixture

Instructions

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk on medium speed for about 3-5 minutes until smooth and soft peaks form.
  • In a shallow dish, combine cooled brewed coffee with coffee liqueur. Stir gently to blend the flavors.
  • Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture for 1-2 seconds and arrange in the bottom of the serving dish.
  • Spread half of the creamy mascarpone mixture over the first layer of ladyfingers.
  • Repeat the soaking process with remaining ladyfingers, layer them over the creamy mixture, and top with remaining mascarpone.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or ideally overnight.
  • Before serving, sprinkle crushed pistachios over the top.

Notes

Allow to chill overnight for the best flavor development. Add pistachios just before serving for crunch.
