Equipment
- 1 mixing bowls
- 1 electric mixer or whisk
- 1 9x13-inch baking dish
- 1 small saucepan
- 1 spatula
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups brewed coffee, cooled For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the amount.
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce Plus extra for drizzling.
- 24 pieces ladyfingers
- Additional for dusting ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat the apple cider over medium heat until it reduces to about ½ cup, around 10-15 minutes. Allow it to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Drizzle the reduced apple cider into the cream mix, folding gently until incorporated.
- In a shallow dish, combine the cooled brewed coffee with 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce. Dip each ladyfinger quickly into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
- In the bottom of the baking dish, layer half of the soaked ladyfingers.
- Spread half of the apple cider cream mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing with a spatula.
- Repeat the layers: another half of the soaked ladyfingers followed by the remaining apple cider cream mixture.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor and texture.
- Before serving, drizzle with extra caramel sauce and dust with additional ground cinnamon.
