Note
For a vegan version, use plant-based cream cheese and coconut cream instead of mascarpone and dairy cream. Ensure your ladyfingers are egg-free.
Use strong brewed coffee or espresso for the best flavor. Weak coffee will result in a bland dessert.
Do not soak the ladyfingers for too long, or they will become mushy. A quick dip is sufficient.
This dessert can be made up to two days in advance. Cover tightly with plastic wrap while chilling.
Serve with a sprinkle of extra cocoa powder or a few chocolate shavings for presentation.
