Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 6 tablespoons cold espresso
  • 6 tablespoons limoncello liqueur
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 36 ladyfingers
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Lemon twists, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until soft peaks form. Set aside.
  2. In a shallow dish, pour cold espresso and limoncello liqueur. Dip ladyfingers in the mixture briefly to soak, then layer them on the bottom of 6 martini glasses.
  3. Using a rubber spatula, fold lemon zest into whipped cream mixture. Carefully spread the cream over soaked ladyfingers.
  4. Dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve. Garnish each glass with a lemon twist. Serve immediately.

Chef’s Insight

Allow the ladyfingers to soak briefly to avoid a soggy texture, and use fresh lemon zest for a vibrant flavor.

Notes

Serve these martinis immediately to enjoy the perfect texture and flavors.
