Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Egg yolks
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 500 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 240 milliliters Heavy cream
- 300 milliliters Espresso (brewed and cooled)
- 2 tablespoons Coffee liqueur (optional)
- 400 grams Ladyfingers
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 20 grams Dark chocolate (grated, for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and thick.
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water) and whisk continuously for about 6–8 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly and reaches a custard-like consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually fold the mascarpone into the cooled egg mixture until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, being careful not to deflate the volume.
Combine the cooled espresso with coffee liqueur (if using) in a shallow dish. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are coated but not soggy.
In a rectangular or square dish (about 9x13 inches), arrange a single layer of dipped ladyfingers. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers on top, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder and garnish with grated dark chocolate, if desired. Cut into squares and serve chilled.
