Place 6 clear shot glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes. Cold glasses help the layers hold their shape.

Divide the coffee liqueur evenly among the shot glasses, using about 1/2 oz (15 ml) per glass.
03 -
Add Irish cream, heavy cream, vanilla, and a small handful of ice to a shaker. Shake for 8-10 seconds until cold and lightly thickened.
04 -
Hold the back of a small spoon just above the coffee liqueur. Slowly pour the cream mixture over the spoon, dividing it evenly among the glasses.

Top each shot with whipped cream, a dusting of cocoa powder, and a tiny pinch of crushed ladyfinger if using. Serve immediately.
