A no-bake, chilled dessert combining the smooth flavor of cold brew coffee with creamy mascarpone layers and coffee-soaked ladyfingers. Perfect for warm weather and quick indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee, chilled
  • 24–30 ladyfingers (about 7 ounces or 200 grams)
  • 16 ounces (450 grams) mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, cold
  • ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Optional: dark chocolate shavings or espresso powder for topping

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of chilled cold brew coffee into a shallow bowl. Add 1 tablespoon sugar if desired and stir until dissolved. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whip 1 cup (240 ml) of cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  3. In another bowl, gently fold together 16 ounces (450 grams) of room temperature mascarpone, ½ cup (100 grams) sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula until no streaks remain.
  5. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cold brew soak for about one second per side. Lay them flat in a single layer at the bottom of a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) dish.
  6. Spread about one-third of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the soaked ladyfingers.
  7. Repeat layering with dipped ladyfingers and mascarpone cream two more times, finishing with a thick layer of cream on top.
  8. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  9. Just before serving, sift unsweetened cocoa powder generously over the top. Add chocolate shavings or a light sprinkle of espresso powder if desired. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Do not over-soak ladyfingers to avoid sogginess; use room temperature mascarpone for easier mixing; whip cream to soft peaks only; fold mixtures gently to keep airy texture; chill overnight for best flavor melding; sift cocoa powder to avoid clumps; utensils chilled before whipping cream help achieve better volume.
