Add 1 cup mascarpone cheese to the egg mixture and mix until smooth and well combined.

In another bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated.

In a shallow dish, quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
