Ingredients
- 24 ladyfinger biscuits Savoiardi

Instructions
- Brew espresso or strong coffee and let it cool completely.
- In a bowl, beat egg yolks with sugar until thick and pale.
- Add mascarpone to the yolk mixture and mix until smooth.
- Whip the cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
- Dip ladyfingers quickly in espresso, then layer in a dish.

Notes
For extra flavor, add a splash of coffee liqueur to the espresso. Use decaf coffee to make it kid-friendly. Don’t soak ladyfingers too long—they absorb liquid fast!
