Ingredients
- 1 4/5 oz cocoa powder
- 1 3/10 cup moka coffee
- 3 1/2 oz pavesini biscuits
- 0.42 cup strong coffee
- a pinch cocoa powder
Mascarpone Cream
- 7 1/10 oz caster sugar
- 2 egg
- 4 egg yolk
- 2 1/5 lb mascarpone
Instructions
- 1Separate the eggs: keep the 2 whole eggs and separate the yolks from the whites, measuring 4 egg yolks.
- 2In a stand mixer bowl, combine the caster sugar, whole eggs, and egg yolks. Whisk on high speed until the mixture thickens into a pale, glossy sabayon (about 5‑7 minutes).
- 3Add the mascarpone cheese to the sabayon and fold gently with a spatula until just combined and smooth; avoid over‑mixing to keep the cream airy.
- 4Prepare the coffee soaking liquid by mixing the 300 ml moka coffee with the 100 ml strong coffee in a shallow dish; let it cool to room temperature.
- 5Quickly dip each pavesini biscuit into the coffee mixture—just 1‑2 seconds per side—so they become moist but do not fall apart.
- 6In a serving dish (approximately 20 cm square), spread a thin, even layer of the mascarpone cream on the bottom.
- 7Arrange a single layer of the coffee‑soaked biscuits over the cream, pressing gently to cover the surface.
- 8Spread a second, generous layer of mascarpone cream over the biscuits, smoothing with an offset spatula.
- 9Repeat the biscuit and cream layering once more, finishing with a final layer of mascarpone cream on top.
- 10Sift the 50 g cocoa powder evenly over the top layer, then add the extra pinch of finely dusted cocoa for extra flavor.
- 11Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
- 12Before serving, optionally garnish with a few extra cocoa dustings or shaved chocolate for presentation.
