Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Ladyfingers
- 1.5 cups Espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 16 ounces Mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Coffee liqueur (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the espresso or strong coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature. If using, mix in the coffee liqueur for added depth of flavor.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale, thick, and creamy (about 3–5 minutes of whisking by hand or 2 minutes with an electric mixer).
Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese to the egg yolk mixture until smooth and well combined. Ensure no lumps remain.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in two batches, ensuring a light and airy consistency.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee mixture. Do not soak them for too long as they may become too soggy.
Arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x9-inch dish or a similar-sized serving dish.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers. Use a spatula to level and smooth the layer.
Repeat the process with another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, dust the top with a generous layer of unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve. Optionally, garnish with chocolate shavings or espresso beans.
