Ingredients

Mascarpone Cream Option 1:

  • 16 oz Mascarpone cheese (450g), cold from the fridge – I recommend Galbani
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 2/3 cup granulated or caster sugar (133g)* – if using egg whites, divide into 2 portions of 1/3 cup and 1/3 cup
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cup heavy cream, chilled (360g) OR 4 egg whites

Other Ingredients:

  • 30-36 ladyfingers*
  • 1 1/2 cup strong black coffee, room temperature (360g)*
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder to dust

Instructions

  1. Mascarpone Cream Option 1: Using heavy cream (recommended)

    Whisk the mascarpone cheese on medium speed for 30-60 seconds until creamy. Scrape the bowl and set aside.

Notes

  • Ensure the coffee is at room temperature to prevent the ladyfingers from getting too soggy.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, you can add a splash of coffee liqueur to the espresso mixture.
