Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base
  • 200 g ladyfingers
  • 100 ml strong coffee cooled
Filling
  • 250 g cream cheese Philadelphia
  • 200 ml heavy whipping cream 35%
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 2 –3 tbsp cocoa powder for layering and topping

Method
 

  1. Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow bowl.
  2. Dip ladyfingers quickly in the coffee and arrange a layer on the bottom of a 20 cm pan.
  3. Dip more ladyfingers and stand them upright around the inside edge of the pan to form a circle.
  4. Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Add heavy cream and whip/mix until thick and fluffy.
  5. Divide the filling into two parts. Spread the first half over the bottom ladyfingers.
  6. Dust about 1 tbsp cocoa powder over the filling.
  7. Add a second layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers.
  8. Spread the remaining filling on top and smooth.
  9. Dust the top with 1–2 tbsp cocoa powder.
  10. Refrigerate for 3 hours (or longer), then slice and serve.

Notes

  • Dip ladyfingers quickly to avoid sogginess.
  • Chill longer for cleaner slices and better texture.
