Method

In a bowl combine the mascarpone, pistachio paste, icing sugar and vanilla. Add in the cream in two stages, whisking to incorporate and then continuing to whisk to soft-medium peaks before setting aside.

To make the soak, combine the water, espresso, sugar and coffee liqueur and allow to dissolve.

To assemble, individually dunk the lady fingers in the coffee soak for 1-2s and cover the bottom of a 40x27cm dish. Add 1/2 of the filling onto the soaked ladyfingers and level. Repeat this process once more. Once level, cover and place in the fridge for at least 4hours or overnight.

To serve, dust with coco powder and some whole pistachios
