Ingredients
Scale
- 250g mascarpone cheese
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 100g granulated sugar
- 200ml strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 24 ladyfingers
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with half of the sugar until pale and creamy.
- Add the mascarpone cheese to the egg yolk mixture and whisk until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate, clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar and continue whisking until glossy.
- Gently fold the whisked egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until just combined, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy.
- Arrange a layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat with another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone cream.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
- Before serving, dust generously with cocoa powder.
Notes
- Ensure your eggs are fresh.
- Do not over-soak the ladyfingers, as they can become too soft.
- Chilling time is crucial for the best texture and flavor.
