Ingredients
  

1 cup brewed espresso, cooled

2 tablespoons coconut milk (for dipping)

4 large egg yolks

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 cup mascarpone cheese

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

24 ladyfinger cookies

1/2 cup shredded coconut, toasted

Cocoa powder, for dusting

Dark chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions
 

In a shallow bowl, mix the cooled espresso with coconut milk. Set aside for dipping the ladyfingers.

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and creamy.

      Gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the egg mixture until smooth.

        In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

          Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined, creating a light and airy cream.

            Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso-coconut mixture, ensuring they are moist but not soggy.

              Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a rectangular or square dish.

                Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers, smoothing it out evenly.

                  Sprinkle half of the toasted shredded coconut over the cream layer.

                    Repeat the layering process: dip more ladyfingers, layer them, spread the remaining mascarpone cream, and top with the rest of the shredded coconut.

                      Cover the dish and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to set.

                        Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings.
