Ingredients

12 Italian savoiardi ladyfingers (see FYI)
1/4 cup brewed cold espresso or strong coffee
1/4 cup Kahlúa (coffee-flavored liqueur)
1 tub (8 oz) mascarpone cheese
3 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy (whipping) cream
3 Tbsp finely chopped semisweet chocolate
To decorate: tiny candy hearts and mint sprigs
bag fitted with a small star piping tip

Cooking Instructions

Place ladyfingers on a rimmed baking sheet or tray. Mix espresso and Kahlúa and brush on both sides of ladyfingers to moisten. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.

Stir mascarpone, sugar, milk and vanilla in a medium bowl until blended.

Beat cream in a large bowl with mixer on high speed until soft peaks form when beaters are lifted. Fold into cheese mixture. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Up to 1 hour before serving: Cut ladyfingers in half diagonally. Place a top half on each dessert plate. Flip bottom half over and place next to top half to form a heart. Spoon cheese mixture into decorating bag. Pipe on hearts, sprinkle each with 11⁄2 tsp chopped chocolate, then top with another ladyfinger. Pipe on remaining mascarpone mixture. Decorate with candy hearts and mint. Refrigerate until serving.

FYI Imported Italian savoiardi ladyfingers are crisp and longer than the familiar soft sponge-cake variety.

Planning Tip: Prepare through Step 3 at least 2 hours or up to 1 day ahead. Can be assembled (Step 4) up to 1 hour ahead.
