**7 Gables Inn Creamy Banana Tiramisu**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 ripe bananas, sliced
– 1 cup brewed espresso, cooled
– 2 tablespoons rum (optional)
– 24 ladyfinger cookies
– Cocoa powder, for dusting
– Chocolate shavings, for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
2. In another bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
4. In a shallow dish, combine the cooled espresso with rum, if using. Dip each ladyfinger cookie into the espresso mixture for a few seconds, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
5. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfinger cookies in the bottom of a serving dish or individual dessert cups.
6. Top the cookies with a layer of the mascarpone cream mixture, spreading it evenly.
7. Place a layer of sliced bananas on top of the mascarpone cream.
8. Repeat the layers – soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, and sliced bananas – until you reach the top of the dish, finishing with a layer of the mascarpone cream.
9. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.
10. Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings for an elegant touch.
