  4. Gently fold whipped cream into the mascarpone until well combined.
  5. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers in the pan.
  6. Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone layer.
  7. Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture evenly over the top layer of ladyfingers.

Notes

For an alcohol-free version, omit the coffee liqueur and use extra brewed coffee. Refrigerate bars tightly covered to keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
