Method

  1. 1

    Prepare a strong coffee (about 100 ml) and let it cool to room temperature; this will be used to soak the biscuits.

  2. 2

    In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the whole eggs, egg yolks, and caster sugar.

  3. 3

    Whisk on high speed for 5–7 minutes until the mixture becomes thick, pale, and forms a ribbon‑like sabayon.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The sabayon is pale, thick, and leaves a ribbon. Stop whisking once it reaches this texture.

  4. 4

    Add the mascarpone cheese to the sabayon and gently fold with a spatula until the cream is smooth and just combined, taking care not to over‑mix.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The cream is smooth and just combined. Fold gently to avoid overworking the mascarpone.

  5. 5

    In a shallow dish, pour the cooled strong coffee. Quickly dip each pavesini biscuit—about 1–2 seconds—so it absorbs moisture without becoming soggy.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The biscuits are moistened but still hold their shape. Dip quickly as directed to prevent sogginess.

  6. 6

    Select a serving dish (a rectangular pan or individual glasses). Spread a thin, even layer of the mascarpone cream on the bottom.

  7. 7

    Arrange a single layer of the coffee‑soaked biscuits over the cream, pressing gently to cover the surface.

  8. 8

    Spread a second layer of mascarpone cream over the biscuits, smoothing it with the back of a spoon or offset spatula.

  9. 9

    Repeat the biscuit and cream layers once more, finishing with a final layer of mascarpone cream on top.

  10. 10

    Sift the cocoa powder evenly over the top layer of cream, creating a smooth dusting.

  11. 11

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The layers feel set when chilled. Keep covered during chilling.

  12. 12

    Before serving, optionally garnish with a few extra cocoa shavings or a dusting of grated chocolate for added visual appeal.
