Ingredients
- 1. 20 large Medjool dates, pitted 2. 1 cup date honey 3. 1 cup strong coffee, cooled 4. 1 cup mascarpone cheese 5. 1/2 cup heavy cream 6. 2 tbsp granulated sugar 7. 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 8. 20 ladyfingers 9. 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fluffy. Refrigerate until needed.
- In a separate small bowl, soak the pitted Medjool dates in date honey for at least 30 minutes to allow them to absorb the sweet, aromatic flavor.
- In a shallow dish, pour the cooled coffee and lightly dip each ladyfinger quickly on both sides. Do not let them become too saturated.
- Assemble the dessert by placing a dipped ladyfinger at the bottom of each serving glass or dessert bowl. Top with a layer of the soaked dates, then spoon a generous amount of the whipped mascarpone mixture on top. Repeat with another ladyfinger, dates, and finishing with a dollop of mascarpone cream.
- Dust the final layer with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.
