About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 0.51 cup coffee
- 1 1/10 oz brown sugar
- 0.51 cup coffee liqueur
- 1 7/10 fl oz baileys
- 16 oz mascarpone
- 6 egg yolks
- 4 9/10 oz granulated sugar
- 1 1/10 oz brown sugar
- 1 1/10 pt double cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/10 oz ladyfingers
- 1 1/10 oz cocoa powder
Instructions
- 1Combine the coffee with 30 g of brown sugar in a large bowl and stir until fully dissolved; set aside as the soaking liquid.
- 2In a separate bowl, whisk the mascarpone together with 60 ml of the coffee liqueur (add the Baileys if desired) until smooth.
- 3Prepare a custard by whisking 140 g of granulated sugar with the 6 egg yolks in a heat‑proof bowl placed over a simmering water bath; continue whisking for 5–6 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly and reaches about 158°F.
- 4Transfer the warm custard to the mascarpone mixture and whisk until fully incorporated; then place the combined filling in the refrigerator to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
- 5While the filling cools, beat the 500 ml of double cream with 2 tsp vanilla extract using a low speed until soft peaks form; avoid over‑whipping.
- 6Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled mascarpone‑custard mixture, preserving the airy texture.
- 7Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee‑sugar liquid for 1–2 seconds, ensuring they are moist but not soggy, and arrange a single layer in a rectangular or square serving dish, leaving minimal gaps.
- 8Spread half of the mascarpone filling evenly over the first layer of ladyfingers; optionally dust a thin layer of cocoa powder over this first filling.
- 9Add a second layer of coffee‑dipped ladyfingers, then spread the remaining filling over the top, smoothing with a spatula.
- 10Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4–5 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
- 11Just before serving, dust the surface generously with cocoa powder for a finishing touch.
