• tempo totale: 25 minutes

Ingredienti

2 cups mascarpone (500g)

24 (roughly) Savoiardi biscuits (lady fingers)

1 cup strong brewed coffee (230ml)

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 tablespoons dark chocolate (grated)

4 egg yolks (at room temperature)

3 egg whites (at room temperature)

6 tablespoons sugar

4 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)

1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Istruzioni

Carefully separate the egg yolks and whites into two separate bowls.

Using a clean electric whisk start to whisk the egg whites. When they become frothy, add half of the sugar and whisk until the egg whites are stiff and glossy. You should be able to turn the bowl upside down and they remain stiff (be careful not to overwhip them).

Add half of sugar to the egg yolks and whisk them until pale and thick. Add the mascarpone and whisk again until smooth and creamy, set aside.

Next, add one third of the whisked egg whites to the mascarpone and egg yolk mixture and gently fold it in as you would with a cake batter. Continue with the remaining whites a third at a time until it's completed incorporated.

Mix the espresso, coffee liqueur (optional) and vanilla in a shallow bowl and dip in the lady fingers (savoiardi biscuits). You want to dip them into the liquid quickly (around 2-3 seconds) whilst turning to soak each side.

Lay the ladyfingers in a glass or ceramic dish until you have one even layer. You can brake some biscuits to fit your dish .

Next, add half of the mascarpone mixture over the biscuits and spread out in an even layer, top with some grated dark chocolate.

Continue with another layer of ladyfingers and mascarpone as directed above. Finally, dust with cocoa powder and chill in the fridge for roughly 6-8 hours.

Note

For the coffee, I made a shot of expresso and added some water (I guess a concentrated americano).

Dust generously with the cocoa powder.

I halved the recipe but didn't realize the instructions didn't halve so I added too much sugar but it wasn't too too overly sweet (used 3 tbsp sugar for egg whites and then an additional 3 tbsp for the egg yolks. I added a lot of cocoa powder and that might have helped temper the extra sweetness). I'd like to try the original sweetness next time though.
