Ingredients
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
24 ladyfinger cookies
Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the blueberries: In a bowl, mash half of the blueberries with a fork. Set aside the other half for layering and garnish.
- Make the cream mixture: In a separate bowl, beat together mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until light and creamy.
- Combine blueberries: Gently fold the mashed blueberries into the mascarpone mixture, being careful not to overmix.
- Mix the coffee: In a shallow dish, combine brewed coffee and coffee liqueur (if using).
- Dip the ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger in the coffee mixture, ensuring they soak but do not become too soggy.
- Layer the dessert: Start by placing a layer of dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish.
- Add the cream layer: Spread half of the blueberry mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, covering them completely.
- Add blueberries: Sprinkle half of the reserved blueberries over the cream layer.
- Repeat layers: Place another layer of dipped ladyfingers over the blueberries and top with the remaining mascarpone mixture. Again, sprinkle the rest of the blueberries on top.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired for an added touch of elegance.
Notes
Add a citrus twist: For a zesty flavor, add a tablespoon of lemon zest to the mascarpone mixture or sprinkle some lemon zest on top for garnish.
Use other berries: If you don’t have blueberries, feel free to use raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries for a different flavor combination.
