Total time: 3 hours, 25 minutes
Ingredients
  • 1 pre-made pie crust
  • 1 tablespoon (14 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup (100 grams) plus 1 tablespoon (15 grams) white granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 cups (480 milliliters) heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces (226 grams) mascarpone cheese
  • 1 ½ cups (360 milliliters) espresso, cold
  • 15 ladyfinger cookies, plus more for garnish
  • 5 tablespoons (25 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
  2. Stretch the pie crust across a 9-inch pie pan, gently folding in the corners, and coat the crust with butter and 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake using pie weights in the center for about 10 minutes, then let cool completely.
  3. To make the filling, in a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, remaining sugar, vanilla, and mascarpone until peaks form. In a small bowl, add the espresso and dip each ladyfinger into it quickly. Place a layer of the soaked cookies in the cooled pie crust. Dollop the cream mixture on top of the ladyfingers. Continue to layer the cookies and cream until you've used all the prepared ingredients.
  4. Refrigerate the pie for 3 hours. Just before serving, dust the top of the pie with cocoa powder and top with extra ladyfinger cookies.
