I made this for dessert last night and it was wonderful and very easy to make. This is one of my all time favorite desserts.

Ingredients

• 3 egg yolks
  
• 1/4 cup white sugar
  
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  
• 1 1/8 cups mascarpone cheese
  
• 24 ladyfingers
  
• 1 1/2 cups brewed coffee
  
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

  Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, beat yolks with sugar and vanilla until smooth and light yellow. Fold mascarpone into yolk mixture. Set aside.
     
  2. Dip ladyfingers briefly in coffee and arrange 12 of them in the bottom of an 8x8 inch dish. Spread half the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with remaining cookies and mascarpone. Cover and chill 1 hour. Sprinkle with cocoa just before serving.

When dipping the ladyfingers in the coffee be quick about it. They soak up the coffee very fast and will become too soggy otherwise.
