Ingredients:
- 2 cups of heavy cream
- 1 cup of brewed expresso (warm or room temperature)
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 ¾ cup of mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
- ½ cup of coffee flavoured liquor (optional)
- 40 – 45 ladyfingers / Savoiardi biscuits
- 6 large eggs
- Cocoa for dusting
Directions:
- Separate the egg yolks from the whites.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar on top of a double boiler. Reduce the heat to low and continue whisking for about 10 minutes.
- Then, remove from heat and continue to whisk until the yolks achieve a thick consistency. Let it cool a few minutes.
- Add mascarpone and vanilla extract to the whipped yolks and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer and whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Do this by whipping the cream on low and gradually increasing the speed over 10 minutes.
- Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture and set aside.
- Combine the expresso and coffee liquor in a separate bowl. Dip the ladyfingers into the mixture for 1 – 2 seconds. Do not soak them.
- Arrange the ladyfingers on the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan.
- Spoon half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers and spread the cream to smoothen out the surface.
- Repeat the process with another later of ladyfingers.
- Add another layer of cream.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Dust with cocoa before dusting. Enjoy!
