Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • Cocoa powder (2 tablespoons, for dusting)
  • Eggs (4, separated)
  • Granulated sugar (1/2 cup)
  • Heavy cream (1 cup)
  • Mascarpone cheese (1 cup)
  • Strong brewed coffee (1 cup, cooled)
  • Ladyfingers (24 pieces)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks and granulated sugar. Beat until the mixture is creamy and pale in color.
  2. Add the mascarpone cheese and heavy cream to the egg yolk mixture. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  4. Dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee for a few seconds, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
  5. Arrange a single layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of a serving dish.
  6. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the first layer of ladyfingers, smoothing it out with a spatula.
  7. Repeat the process with another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone cream.
  8. Dust the top layer generously with cocoa powder using a fine sieve.
  9. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  10. Serve chilled, and enjoy the harmonious blend of coffee, cream, and cocoa.
