Method

Prepare Coffee Mixture

  1. 1

    Brew Coffee

    Brew 240 ml of strong coffee. Allow it to cool slightly before using.

    Mix Coffee and Liqueur

    In a shallow bowl, combine the brewed coffee with 60 ml of coffee liqueur. Set aside.

    Beat Egg Yolks

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 egg yolks and 100 g of granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy.

  2. 4

    Incorporate Mascarpone

    Gently fold in 500 g of mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk mixture until smooth and well combined.

    Whip Heavy Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip 240 ml of heavy cream until soft peaks form.

    Dip Ladyfingers

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger cookie into the coffee mixture one at a time, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
