Recipe Summary:

• Prep Time: 25 minutes
• Cook Time: 10 minutes chilling time
• Total Time: 35 minutes
• Servings: 8
• Skill Level: Intermediate

Ingredients

• 1 cup strong brewed espresso, cooled
• 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1 1/2 cups mascarpone cheese
• 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 package (24) ladyfinger biscuits
• 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
• Chocolate shavings, for garnish
• Chocolate syrup, for drizzle

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix the brewed espresso with the instant coffee granules and cocoa powder until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool.
2. In a separate heatproof bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and egg yolks. Place this bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and continuously whisk until the mixture becomes pale and thick, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Once cooled, fold in the mascarpone cheese until smooth and creamy.
4. In another large bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, ensuring a light and airy texture.
5. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee-cocoa mixture (and coffee liqueur if using) and line the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish with a single layer of soaked ladyfingers.
6. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the soaked ladyfingers, smoothing it out evenly.
7. Repeat the process with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
9. Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings and a generous drizzle of chocolate syrup.

Helpful Tips

• If you don’t have espresso, strong brewed coffee will work just as well.
• For an alcohol-free version, simply omit the coffee liqueur.
• Make sure the mascarpone is at room temperature for easier mixing.
• For a more intense coffee flavor, add an extra tablespoon of instant coffee granules.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
