2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.

4. In a small sieve, dust cocoa powder over each parfait for a final touch. Lightly sprinkle with ground cinnamon.

Chef’s Insight

To achieve the perfect espresso-soaked ladyfingers, avoid soaking them for too long, as they may become soggy.

Notes

For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a coffee bean or a dusting of cocoa powder before serving.
