Method
Step 1: Beat mascarpone, cream, powdered sugar, and peanut butter until smooth.
Step 2: Quickly dip each ladyfinger in coffee or milk.
Tip: Dip quickly — soaking too long makes the layers mushy.
Step 3: Layer dipped ladyfingers in a baking dish.
Step 4: Spread half the cream over the ladyfingers.
Step 5: Add banana slices, then swirl in half the jam.
Step 6: Repeat layers, ending with cream on top.
Step 7: Chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Step 8: Dust with cocoa powder before serving.
Notes
Add the banana slices close to assembly time to prevent browning, and chill the full 4 hours for the best texture.
