Ingredients
Scale
- 6 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup coffee liqueur (optional)
- 24 ladyfinger cookies
- Cocoa powder for dusting
- Chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Whisk the heavy cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until smooth.
- Mix the cooled coffee and coffee liqueur in a shallow dish.
- Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture quickly and layer them in a serving dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 240 minutes or overnight.
- Dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings before serving.
Notes
Use freshly brewed coffee for the best flavor. Don’t soak the ladyfingers too long in coffee; a quick dip is enough.
