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
For the espresso mixture:
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.
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.
