Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Egg yolks
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 500 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 350 ml Espresso
- 60 ml Coffee liqueur
- 400 grams Ladyfingers (Savoiardi biscuits)
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 50 grams Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese, mixing until smooth and fully incorporated. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks and then gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the cream.
In a shallow dish, mix the espresso and coffee liqueur together. Allow to cool to room temperature if hot.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not soaked, as they will become too soft.
In a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) dish or similar-sized serving dish, arrange a layer of the soaked ladyfingers to cover the bottom.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers, using a spatula to create a smooth layer.
Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture on top.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set.
Before serving, sift the cocoa powder evenly over the top. Optionally, garnish with dark chocolate shavings for added texture and flavor.
Slice and serve chilled with a cup of espresso or your favorite coffee.
