Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 250 milliliters Brewed espresso or strong coffee
- 300 grams Ladyfinger biscuits
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until the mixture becomes pale and creamy.
Place the egg yolk and sugar mixture over a double boiler on low heat and whisk continuously for about 5 minutes to pasteurize the eggs. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk mixture until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture to create a smooth and airy cream.
Pour the brewed espresso or coffee into a shallow dish and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger biscuit into the coffee, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
Layer the coffee-soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a rectangular dish, covering the surface completely.
Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers.
Repeat the process by adding another layer of soaked ladyfingers and topping it with the remaining mascarpone cream.
Dust the top layer with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Optional: Before serving, shave dark chocolate over the top for an extra indulgent garnish.
