Ingredients:
200g Mascarpone cheese
100ml heavy cream
100g powdered sugar
2 tbsp vanilla extract
200ml strong espresso or coffee (cooled)
150g ladyfingers (savoiardi)
100g Raffaello coconut treats (chopped into small pieces)
2 tbsp coconut milk (optional, for extra coconut flavor)
Cocoa powder (for dusting)
Shredded coconut (for garnish)
Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the mascarpone cream: In a large bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Set aside.
Soak the ladyfingers: Pour the cooled espresso or coffee into a shallow dish. Lightly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee for about 2-3 seconds, ensuring they are soaked but not too soggy.
Assemble the verrines: In small glass containers or verrines, layer the ingredients in the following order:
Start with a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom.
Add a generous layer of the mascarpone cream mixture on top.
Sprinkle a few pieces of chopped Raffaello treats onto the mascarpone layer.
Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the verrine, finishing with a layer of mascarpone cream.
Chill the dessert: Refrigerate the assembled verrines for at least 2-3 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Garnish: Just before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder, sprinkle with shredded coconut, and add a fresh mint leaf for an extra touch of elegance.
