🕒 Total Time: 4 hrs 15 mins (includes chilling) | 🍽 Servings: 8
🌟 Ingredients:
For the Creamy Pistachio Mascarpone Layer:
✅ 1 ½ cups shelled pistachios, chopped
✅ 1 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
✅ 1 cup heavy cream
✅ ½ cup powdered sugar
✅ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Coffee-Soaked Layers:
✅ 2 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled
✅ 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional)
✅ 2 cups ladyfinger biscuits (savoiardi)
For Garnish:
✅ 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
✅ 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
👨🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Prep the Pistachios:
- In a food processor, pulse pistachios until finely ground. Set aside.
2️⃣ Make the Pistachio Mascarpone Cream:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the ground pistachios and mix until fully incorporated.
3️⃣ Prepare the Coffee Mixture:
- In a shallow dish, combine brewed coffee and coffee liqueur (if using).
- Dip each ladyfinger biscuit into the coffee mixture for about 1 second per side, making sure they don’t get too soggy.
4️⃣ Assemble the Layers:
- Arrange a layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9×9-inch square dish.
- Spread half of the pistachio mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Repeat the process, creating another layer of ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.
5️⃣ Chill & Set:
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to let the flavors blend beautifully.
6️⃣ Garnish & Serve:
- Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Sprinkle with chopped pistachios for an extra nutty crunch.
