Method
Whisk the egg yolks with sugar until pale and thick.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The yolk mixture is pale and leaves a thick ribbon. Whisk until the sugar is no longer gritty.
Fold in the mascarpone cheese until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and gently fold into the mascarpone mixture.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The cream holds soft peaks and the filling stays airy. Fold gently to keep the whipped cream light.
Combine the espresso with the rum or liqueur in a shallow dish.
Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are moist but not soggy, and arrange a layer in a 9x13 inch dish.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The ladyfingers are moist but still hold their shape. Dip briefly and lift before they become soggy.
Spread half of the mascarpone filling over the ladyfingers.
Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining filling.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The layers feel set when the dish is moved gently. Chill until the filling holds clean layers when cut.
Just before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: A fine cocoa layer dusts the chilled surface. Dust just before serving so it stays dry.
Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, coffee‑infused delight.
