Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Beat mascarpone and 2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur together in a large bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2
Beat cream, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Fold about ¼ whipped cream into mascarpone mixture using a large rubber spatula until smooth; fold in remaining ¾ whipped cream until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
Step 3
Combine orange juice and remaining 2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur in a shallow bowl. Separate ladyfingers; quickly dip ladyfingers in orange juice mixture, 2 to 3 at a time, just long enough to absorb a small amount of liquid. Arrange soaked ladyfingers in a 9x13-inch baking dish until bottom of dish is covered in a single layer.
Step 4
Spread about ½ mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers layer; sprinkle about ½ cocoa powder over mascarpone layer. Soak and layer in remaining ladyfingers, followed by remaining ½ mascarpone mixture, and remaining ½ cocoa powder.
Step 5
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap; refrigerate until set, 5 hours to overnight.
