Note
Use fresh, strong espresso for the best flavor profile. If unavailable, strong brewed coffee works as a substitute.
For food safety, consider using pasteurized eggs or egg whites, especially if serving to pregnant women, young children, or elderly individuals.
This dessert improves in flavor after resting overnight, allowing the ladyfingers to soften and the flavors to meld.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Ensure the mascarpone cheese is at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smoother consistency.
