  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream (or 4 egg whites)
  • ~30 ladyfingers
  • 1 1/2 cups strong black coffee
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Brew strong black coffee and let it cool completely to avoid soggy ladyfingers.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until pale and creamy.
  3. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until smooth and uniform in color.
  4. In another bowl, whip heavy cream (or egg whites) until stiff peaks form.
  5. Briefly dip each ladyfinger in cooled coffee and layer them in your baking dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over them.
  6. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture on top. Dust with cocoa powder.
