Method

Start by brewing strong espresso. Let it cool before stirring in coffee liqueur. The aroma fills your kitchen instantly. Pro tip: Use freshly ground beans for the best flavor. Avoid instant coffee if possible—it lacks depth.
In a mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy. This step builds the base of your filling. Keep whisking until the mixture thickens slightly and feels smooth.
Gently fold mascarpone cheese into the yolk mixture. Add vanilla extract for warmth. Be careful not to overmix; you want a light texture.
Dip ladyfingers briefly into the espresso mix. Arrange them in a dish and spread a layer of mascarpone on top. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used.
Dust the top generously with cocoa powder. Refrigerate for at least four hours. Chilling allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve chilled for the ultimate experience.
