A smooth blend of mascarpone, espresso, and cocoa creating a luscious creamy dip.

# What You'll Need:

→ Cream Mixture

01 - 120 ml heavy cream
02 - 2 g instant espresso powder
03 - 1 g unsweetened cocoa powder, plus extra for dusting

→ Base

04 - 227 g mascarpone cheese, softened
05 - 170 g cream cheese, softened
06 - 83 g confectioners' sugar, sifted
07 - 5 ml pure vanilla extract
08 - Pinch kosher salt

→ For Serving

09 - Ladyfingers

# How to Make It:

01 - In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, instant espresso powder, and unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth and fully dissolved.
02 - In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat mascarpone, cream cheese, and sifted confectioners' sugar on medium-high speed until smooth, approximately 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl to ensure even mixing.
03 - Add the previously prepared cream mixture, vanilla extract, and a pinch of kosher salt to the cheese mixture. Beat on low speed until just incorporated, then increase to medium-high and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 1 additional minute.
04 - Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, dust the surface generously with additional unsweetened cocoa powder, and serve immediately alongside ladyfingers for dipping.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Dissolving espresso and cocoa powder in cream before mixing ensures an even distribution of flavors throughout the dip.
02 - Use softened cheeses at room temperature for a smoother, creamier texture.
