The classic Italian treat is usually made of coffee or espresso-soaked savoiardi (ladyfingers), layered with a sweet-savory, light mascarpone cream and topped with pure cocoa powder, resulting in a creamy, soft, and moist medley of coffee, chocolate, and cream cheese flavors that come together seamlessly.
