1 ½ cups strong brewed coffee, cooled
24 ladyfinger cookies
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ cups mascarpone cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup heavy cream
Cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
Prepare Coffee Mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the cooled coffee and ¼ cup of granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Soak Ladyfingers: Dip each ladyfinger cookie into the coffee mixture for a few seconds, making sure to coat both sides.
Layer Ladyfingers: Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a rectangular glass dish.
Prepare Mascarpone Cream: In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, remaining sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture.
Assemble Layers: Spoon half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers in the dish. Spread evenly. Sprinkle half of the chopped pistachios over the cream layer.
Repeat Layers: Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top of the pistachios. Repeat the process with the remaining mascarpone cream mixture and pistachios.
Finish and Refrigerate: Top with a final layer of ladyfingers. Dust with cocoa powder. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
Serve: Before serving, dust with additional cocoa powder and garnish with chopped pistachios.
