Put mascarpone cheese and the rest of the sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk on high speed until fluffy.
Fold half of the whipped cream into the whipped cheese.
To assemble, put a layer of cheese at the bottom of the container. Dip ladies fingers into coffee liquid, then layer on top of the cheese. Spread another layer of cheese on top of the ladies fingers.
