500 g (1.1 lb) Mascarpone cheese, creamy and thick

Directions

Brew a strong espresso and let it cool completely. Stir in Marsala wine or rum if desired. For a kid-friendly version, skip the alcohol. Set aside.
Separate the yolks from the whites. Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. You’ll know they’re ready when the mixture doesn’t move if you tilt the bowl.
In another bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar for 3–5 minutes, until pale and creamy.
Soften the mascarpone with a spoon, then mix it into the yolk-sugar mixture. Whisk gently until smooth.
Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture. Mix slowly from bottom to top to keep it airy and creamy.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee—just 1–2 seconds per side to avoid sogginess. Arrange a single layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of your serving dish.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, then top with the remaining cream.
Dust generously with cocoa powder. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to blend beautifully. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Recipe Note

Chef Tips
Use high-quality mascarpone for the best texture and flavor.

Add 1 teaspoon of espresso powder for a deeper coffee flavor.
Want it boozy? Use rum or coffee liqueur instead of Marsala.
If you’re concerned about raw eggs, pasteurize them at home using a hot sugar syrup.

Serving Suggestions

Dust the top with extra cocoa powder or shaved dark chocolate before serving.
Garnish with coffee beans or ladyfinger crumbs for presentation flair.
Pair with espresso or cappuccino for an authentic Italian finish.
Serve in individual cups or trifle bowls for elegant dinner parties.

Storage & Reheating

Refrigerator: Keep tightly covered for up to 4 days.
Freezer: Store portions in airtight containers for 2–3 weeks. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.

Tip: Avoid freezing too long, as the mascarpone may separate after extended storage.
