Ingredients

For the espresso mixture: 

  • 1/2 Cup espresso chilled
  • 2 Tablespoon coffee liqueur such as Kahlúa

For the mascarpone-cheesecake mixture: 

  • 8 Ounces mascarpone
  • 8 Ounces cream cheese
  • 1/4 Cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 Cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 Cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Teaspoon coffee liqueur such as Kahlúa

To assemble: 

Instructions

For the espresso mixture:

  • In a small bowl, combine chilled espresso and coffee liqueur. Set aside. 

For the mascarpone-cheesecake mixture:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese and sugar until blended. Add mascarpone. Mix until just incorporated. Do not over mix. Set aside. 
  • To the bowl of a mixer, add heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon coffee liqueur (or vanilla extract). Whip on high until stiff peaks form.  
  • Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the mascarpone mixture.  

To assemble: 

  • Pipe mascarpone mixture into an 8-ounce glass or jar, just covering the bottom.  
  • Dip two lady finger halves into the espresso mixture and immediately arrange them on top of the mascarpone layer. 
  • Pipe another layer of the mascarpone mixture on top of the espresso-dampened ladyfingers. Dip 2 more lady finger halves, arranging them on top of the mascarpone, as before. Pipe one last layer of the mascarpone mixture on top of the lady fingers.  
  • Dust the top with cocoa powder and sprinkle with chocolate shavings. Refrigerate at least 1 hour until chilled or ready to serve. 

Notes

Using a vegetable peeler, swipe the outside edge of a bar of semi-sweet chocolate such as Baker’s. This will create quick and easy chocolate shavings.
If you decide to use instant espresso, add 2 tablespoons granules to ½ cup water.
