Step 1

Melt Semi-Sweet Dark Chocolate (115 g) with the Vegetable Shortening (2 g) in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

Pour the melted chocolate onto an 11x17-inch rimmed baking sheet. Smooth with an offset spatula. Refrigerate until chocolate is set but not brittle, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Holding a sturdy metal spatula or a bench scraper at a 45-degree angle, scrape chocolate away from you to form curls. If chocolate is too brittle, let stand at room temperature for 1-2 minutes before trying again. If too soft, refrigerate briefly.

Step 4

Break each curl into 1-inch pieces.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine Mascarpone Cheese (225 g) , Whipping Cream (240 mL) , Powdered Confectioners Sugar (20 g) , and Vanilla Extract (5 mL) . Beat with an electric mixer on medium to high speed just until soft peaks form.

Step 6

Gently fold in Chocolate Liqueur (80 mL) .

Step 7

Divide half of the Ladyfingers (85 g) among six 6-ounce glasses. Drizzle with half of the Espresso (180 mL) . Top with half of the mascarpone mixture and half of the chocolate. Repeat layers.

Step 8

Cover and chill for 1-24 hours before serving.
