Brew 1 cup of strong coffee and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, mix 1 cup mascarpone cheese, 1 cup protein powder, ¼ cup sugar, ¼ cup cocoa powder, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until smooth.

Dip 8 ladyfingers in brewed coffee for 1-2 seconds, then place them in serving cups.

Layer half of the creamy mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers in each cup.

Repeat with the remaining soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
