Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 4 large Eggs
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 300 grams Ladyfinger biscuits (savoiardi)
- 300 ml Espresso coffee
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Marsala wine (optional)
Instructions
Brew strong espresso coffee, transfer it to a shallow dish, and let it cool to room temperature. If desired, stir in Marsala wine for added flavor.
Separate the egg yolks and whites into two large mixing bowls.
Using a hand or stand mixer, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Add granulated sugar to the egg yolks and beat until the mixture becomes pale and creamy.
Fold the mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk mixture until smooth and well combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture a little at a time. Use a spatula and fold carefully to maintain the fluffy texture.
Dip each ladyfinger biscuit briefly into the cooled espresso, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Line the bottom of a rectangular dish or pan (approximately 20x30 cm) with the soaked ladyfingers.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers.
Add another layer of espresso-dipped ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone layer.
Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture evenly over the second layer of ladyfingers, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Dust the top generously with cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Serve chilled, sliced into squares, and enjoy the authentic taste of Italy!
