Ingredients
  

24 ladyfingers
1 cup brewed coffee or milk, for dipping
16 oz mascarpone cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup strawberry or grape jam
2 bananas, sliced
cocoa powder, for dusting

Equipment

  • 1 Baking dish
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Hand mixer

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.
