Start by chilling the bowl and whisk attachment for your electric mixer in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. (This helps the cream to whip properly.)
In the meantime, combine the cooled coffee and hazlenut syrup.
1 cup Black Coffee, 1 tablespoon Torani Hazlenut Syrup
Into the chilled bowl, add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and sugar and beat until it thickens.
½ cup Granulated Sugar, 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream, 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
Gently fold the room temperature mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream mixture.
20 ounces Mascarpone Cheese
In the bottom of each of your dessert cups, add one teaspoon of chocolate sauce and swirl it around the bottom of the glasses (this is optional).
Torani Dark Chocolate Sauce
Dip the lady fingers into the coffee mixture and place them into the glass.
36 Ladyfinger Biscuits
Add a layer of mascapone whipped cream, and a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Then add a second layer of soaked lady fingers and whipped cream.
Garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder, drizzle of chocolate syrup, and chopped hazlenuts, if desired.
