Ingredients
 
 

Base

  • 200 g ladyfingers (savoiardi)

Cream Layer

  • 250 g mascarpone cheese
  • 200 ml heavy cream
  • 150 g powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pistachio paste.

  • Spread half of the mascarpone-pistachio cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
  • Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top of the cream.
  • Spread the remaining mascarpone-pistachio cream mixture on top.
  • Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
