Ingredients9

  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup mascarpone
  • 1 3/4 cup espresso
  • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 24 ladyfingers
  • 1 tablespoon marsala cooking wine

Method9

  1. In a mixing bowl, mix together half of the sugar with all of the egg yolks. Beat together until the substance turns a pale yellow. Set aside once completed.
  2. In another container, mix together the heavy cream, marsala cooking wine, and remaining sugar until it forms medium peaks.
  3. Fold mascarpone into mixture from Step 2 until fully combined.
  4. Fold in egg mixture from Step 1 into Step 3 mixture until fully combined. Set aside for later use.
  5. In an 8x8 square pan, dust the bottom of the container with cocoa powder.
  6. Prepare the coffee liqueur and coffee mixture in a shallow bowl. Quickly dunk the ladyfingers into the bowl, ensuring not to oversaturate the cookie (6 or 7 fast flips).
  7. Line the bottom of the pan with the soaked ladyfingers.
  8. Layer the top of the first row of ladyfingers with cream. Dust with cocoa powder if desired and repeat.
  9. Dust the top of the final cream layer with cocoa powder, cover the pan, and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.
