Instructions

. Prepare the Base:

Line a large piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on a clean surface.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee mixture (don’t soak too long, or they’ll become too soft).
Arrange the dipped ladyfingers in two rows, slightly overlapping, to form a rectangle (about 10×12 inches).

2. Make the Vanilla Mascarpone Filling:

In a mixing bowl, beat mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla, and almond extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until smooth and fluffy.

3. Assemble & Roll:

Spread the mascarpone filling evenly over the ladyfingers, leaving a slight border around the edges.
Carefully roll the ladyfingers from the short end, using the plastic wrap to help shape it into a tight roll.
Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best results).

4. Garnish & Serve:

Remove the roll from the fridge and carefully unwrap.
Dust with cocoa powder and top with chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or mint leaves for decoration

Notes

Make-Ahead: This roll can be made 1-2 days in advance and kept in the fridge.
Boozy Twist: Add a splash of rum or amaretto to the coffee mixture for extra flavor.
Lighter Option: Swap mascarpone for a mix of Greek yogurt and cream cheese for a lower-fat version.
Serving Suggestion: Pair with espresso or a vanilla latte for the ultimate tiramisu experience!
