In a shallow bowl or casserole dish (20 cm), lay out half of the ladyfingers in one layer. Soak in approx. 150 ml strong coffee.
Mix the mascarpone, eggnog and vanilla sugar with the hand mixer, if it is not sweet enough, add a little more sugar. (Don`t try too often, otherwise there won`t be enough for dessert!)
Put half of the mixture on the biscuits, put on another layer of biscuit, carefully pour coffee over it, spread the remaining mascarpone cream on, smooth the surface, sieve cocoa over it and place in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
If the mascarpone cream gets too firm (depends on the mascarpone), just add more egg liqueur until you get the right consistency.
This cream is of course not suitable for children, if children eat with us, they get their own variant, for this I simply mix the mascarpone with milk, sugar and vanilla sugar until the right consistency is achieved. I soak the biscuits with orange juice, put a layer of apple compote on top, then the mascarpone mixture. Then again sponge cake, orange juice, apple compote, mascarpone. Instead of cocoa, simply sift cinnamon sugar on top.
The preparation is very quick and the dessert can also be easily prepared and stored in the refrigerator.
