Ingredients

  • 24 ladyfingers (savoiardi)
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 2 tbsp pistachio liqueur (optional)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup pistachio paste
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted pistachios, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Prep the Coffee Mixture: In a shallow bowl, mix the cooled brewed coffee with pistachio liqueur (if using). Set aside.
  • Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • Make the Pistachio Cream: In another bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese, pistachio paste, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully combined.
  • Assemble the Layers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture and arrange a layer at the bottom of an 8x8-inch dish. Spread half of the pistachio cream over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers and the remaining pistachio cream.
  • Chill and Garnish: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.

Notes

Pro Tips: Chill the layers for at least 4 hours to allow flavors to meld. Use high-quality pistachio paste for the best flavor. Dust with extra cocoa powder just before serving for a professional touch. For a smoother cream, ensure mascarpone is at room temperature before mixing. Storage: Keep refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Variations: Swap ladyfingers for sponge cake layers. Add a layer of raspberry jam for a fruity contrast. Use almond extract instead of vanilla for a different nutty flavor.
