Description
A delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert, combining the rich flavors of mascarpone and rum with the tropical essence of coconut.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/4 cup coconut rum
- 2 cups mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 24 ladyfinger cookies
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut, toasted

Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, mix the brewed coffee and coconut rum. Dip ladyfingers quickly into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Arrange half of the ladyfingers in a layer in a serving dish.
