Ingredients
- 240 ml Espresso or strongly brewed coffee
- 60 ml Coffee liqueur (optional)
- 200 g Ladyfingers (savoiardi biscuits)
- 450 g Mascarpone cheese
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 30 g Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Brew strong espresso or coffee and let it cool to room temperature. If desired, stir in coffee liqueur for an added depth of flavor.
Step 2
Separate the egg yolks and place them in a heatproof bowl. Add granulated sugar to the yolks.
Step 3
Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Whisk continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes pale, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Step 5
In another large bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese with the cooled egg yolk mixture. Mix gently until smooth.
Step 6
Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone-egg mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Step 7
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee (do not soak them too long, as they will become soggy). Arrange a single layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) dish or similar-sized serving dish.
Step 8
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Step 9
Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture, ensuring the top is smooth.
Step 10
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 11
Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve. Optionally, garnish with dark chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance.
Step 12
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
