# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - Ladyfingers (store-bought or homemade)
02 - Mascarpone cheese
03 - Heavy cream
04 - Powdered sugar
05 - Strong brewed coffee

→ Seasonings & Spices

06 - Unsweetened cocoa powder
07 - Espresso powder (optional)

→ Garnish & Toppings

08 - Whipped cream (optional)
09 - Chocolate shavings (optional)

→ Optional Extras

10 - Amaretto (optional)
11 - Orange zest (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Brew your strong coffee and let it cool completely. This is crucial; otherwise, your ladyfingers will become soggy and sad. I usually make a big pot and use the leftover coffee for a second cup later!
02 - Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee, just enough to moisten it, not soak it completely. Don't over-soak them! I usually do it in batches so that the coffee doesn't get too cold.
03 - In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Don't overwhip! I’ve done this so many times and it’s a disaster—you end up with butter. It's a delicate dance, my friends.
04 - Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until everything is combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want to keep the airiness of the whipped cream. I use a spatula and fold it in gently, like I’m making a souffle.
05 - Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone mixture onto one ladyfinger, top with another, and gently press down. Repeat until you've used all the ladyfingers and filling. I usually make a small test batch to ensure the filling consistency is perfect.
06 - Dust the assembled cookies with cocoa powder. Chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set. Honestly, chilling overnight is even better! The flavors deepen and the cookies become even more delicious.

# Notes:

01 - Don't over-soak the ladyfingers in coffee—it's a common mistake that leads to mushy cookies. Quick dips are key!
02 - Chill the cookies for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to develop and the filling to set properly.
03 - If you don't have espresso powder, you can just add a little extra coffee to the filling.
04 - Serving them slightly chilled with a strong coffee makes the flavor pop!
