Calories: 437kcal
Equipment
- stand or hand mixer
- 15-20cm/6-8” square dish or small (~1 cup) dishes
Ingredients
- 3 (3) large eggs seperated
- 110 g (½ cups) white sugar
- 1 tsp (2 tsp) vanilla extract
- 250 g (2 cups) mascarpone
- 375 mls (1½ cups) strong black coffee ~3-4 shots or 2 tsp instant powder + warm water.
- 200 g (7 oz) savoiardi / lady fingers
- 2 tbsp (2 tbsp) (optional) liquor of choice Frangelico, Kahlua etc
- cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
Prepare the mascarpone cream
- In a large bowl, beat egg yolks and ¾ of the sugar in stand/hand mixer on medium high until it becomes pale and thick (8-10 minutes).
- Add the mascarpone and vanilla, beat until just combined. Set aside.
Whip the egg whites & combine
- With a clean bowl and whisk (I like to wipe both with a little vinegar, see above for tip!). Beat egg whites and the remaining sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold ⅓ of the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Repeat with remaining yolk mixture until just combined, trying not to deflate. It is okay to leave a few little speckles of white.
Prepare coffee fingers and layer
- In another bowl, mix cooled coffee and liquor together. Working quickly, dip a sponge finger into coffee for 1-2 seconds, flip over and dunking for another 1 second before lining the base of the dish. Repeat until layer is complete.
- Spread ⅓ of the cream mixture, then continue with another layer of coffee dipped fingers. Repeat process 2 more times and finish with a layer of the cream.
Refrigerate and serve
- Cover, refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours, preferably overnight.
- When ready to serve. dust with cocoa powder. Spoon in serving bowls or plates and enjoy!
