INSTRUCTIONS

1 Mix 1/4 cup of the sugar, coffee and cinnamon in small saucepan. Bring to boil on medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. Cool slightly.
2 Meanwhile, mix mascarpone, remaining 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla in medium bowl until well blended. Beat heavy cream in large chilled bowl with electric mixer and chilled beaters on medium speed until soft peaks form. Add 1/4 of the whipped cream to mascarpone mixture. Folding gently with spatula until well blended. Add remaining whipped cream. Stir gently to incorporate whipped cream.
3 Dip 1/2 of the ladyfingers in coffee mixture, soaking both sides. Arrange ladyfingers in single layer in bottom of an 8-inch baking dish, trimming ladyfingers to fit if necessary. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers. Dip remaining ladyfingers in remaining coffee mixture. Arrange over mascarpone layer. Drizzle with any remaining coffee mixture. Spread remaining mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers. Cover.
4 Refrigerate at least 4 hours or until ready to serve. Just before serving, sprinkle top with cocoa powder and additional cinnamon, if desired.
