- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder for dusting
- optional dark chocolate, grated for topping

- Quickly dunk each ladyfinger in the espresso, then stack them into your serving glasses.
Cream Mixture
- Whip together mascarpone, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla until thick and creamy.

Notes
For best flavor, chill overnight. Use mini jars for individual servings. Can be made dairy-free by using coconut cream and vegan cream cheese. Adjust sugar to preference and consider using Greek yogurt as a substitute for mascarpone.
