    • Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow dish.
    • Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee, ensuring they are soaked but not too soggy.
    • Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a baking dish or individual serving glasses.
    • Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers.
    • Add another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone cream.
