Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup thickened cream, cold (250ml)
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese, cold (250g / 8.8oz)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 Savoiardi (ladyfinger biscuits)
- ⅔ cup espresso, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon liqueur, optional (e.g., Frangelico)

- Cover the cups and refrigerate for at least two hours.
- Right before serving, dust the tops with cocoa powder.
