Ingredients
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled

- Start layering by laying half of the dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of your serving dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing it out evenly.
- Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.
