Add the mascarpone cheese to the yolk mixture and continue beating until it is thick and smooth, making sure there are no lumps.

In a shallow dish, combine the cooled brewed coffee with the coffee-flavored liqueur, stirring well to blend the flavors.

Repeat with the remaining ladyfingers and top with the remaining mascarpone mixture, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
