Ingredients

Ingredients scaled to 8 servings
  • 750 g mascarpone cheese
  • 5 egg, very fresh, medium size, yolks and whites separated
  • 60 g sugar
  • 60 g sugar
  • 250 g ladyfinger
  • 300 g coffee, freshly brewed, sweetened to taste
  • unsweetened cocoa powder, to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1
    Separate the yolks and whites of 5 very fresh eggs. Put the egg whites aside.
  2. Step 2
    Whip the yolks with 60 g of sugar until light and fluffy. Alternatively, use pasteurized eggs and whip the yolks with a sugar syrup heated to 121°C.
  3. Step 3
    Lower the hand mixer speed and add the mascarpone cheese one spoonful at a time.
  4. Step 4
    To whip egg whites to stiff peaks, the whisks must be very clean and the egg whites must be free of traces of yolk. Whip the whites and add 60 g of sugar a little at a time. Check if the egg whites are properly whipped by turning the bowl over.
  5. Step 5
    Add a first ladle of egg whites to the cream, stirring vigorously. Add the rest of the egg whites gently, stirring from the bottom up.
  6. Step 6
    Pour the freshly brewed coffee into a bowl and sweeten to taste.
  7. Step 7
    Spread a spoonful of cream on the bottom of a pan.
  8. Step 8
    Soak the ladyfingers in the coffee. Create a layer of ladyfingers. Continue alternating cream and ladyfingers until all are used.
  9. Step 9
    Transfer the remaining cream into a pastry bag and decorate the dessert.
  10. Step 10
    Sprinkle with unsweetened cocoa powder to taste.
