This eggless recipe has to be the easiest way to whip up this classic dessert, staying true to its name and making for the perfect pick-me-up treat.

Ingredients For the mascarpone cheese;
- 2 cups fresh cream
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

For the filling;
- 1 cup homemade mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup icing sugar, sifted
- 1 cup whipped cream (1/2 cup whipping cream whipped to stiff peaks)
- 25-30 store bought lady finger biscuits

For Coffee soak;
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp coffee powder
- Cocoa powder, to dust

Steps to Follow;

1 Warm the fresh cream in a saucepan set over low-medium heat and bring it to a light simmer. Stir occasionally. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and stir constantly. After a minute or so, the cream will thicken and is coating the back of your wooden spoon or spatula.

2 Take the cream off the heat and pour it over a sieve that is covered with a piece of muslin. Let this sit in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours for best results. Your mascarpone cheese is ready.

3 For the coffee syrup, in a bowl add in water and coffee powder. Mix this really well and set it aside.

4 For the mascarpone filling- in a bowl, add homemade mascarpone filling, icing sugar and whipped cream. Combine everything really well and set aside.

5 For the assembly- take 7 inches square dish. Start by soaking store bought lady fingers in coffee syrup and place them on the base of the dish. Put a generous layer of mascarpone filling over these soaked ladyfingers and spread it evenly.

6 Repeat this layering till you reach the top of the dish and dust the top with cocoa powder. Let it rest in the fridge overnight and serve chilled.
