Combine mascarpone: Gently fold mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream until smooth and creamy.
Mix coffee & liqueur: In a shallow dish, combine brewed coffee and coffee liqueur (if using).
Dip ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture—don’t soak, just a quick dip to keep them from getting soggy.
Layer it up: Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers in your serving dish. Spread half the mascarpone cream mixture over them. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining cream.
