Instructions

1

Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water for 5-8 minutes until thick, pale, and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.

Tip: The double boiler method gently cooks the yolks while keeping them safe. The mixture should reach 160F.

2

Fold the mascarpone into the cooled egg mixture until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.

3

Mix espresso with coffee liqueur if using. Quickly dip each ladyfinger in the espresso (1-2 seconds per side, no more). Arrange a single layer in a 9x13 dish. Spread half the cream on top. Repeat with a second layer.

4

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight. Dust generously with cocoa powder just before serving.
