Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs separated
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups strong brewed coffee cooled
  • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur optional
  • 24 ladyfingers savoiardi biscuits
  • Cocoa powder for dusting
  • Chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)

Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale. Add mascarpone cheese and blend until smooth.
  2. In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the mascarpone mixture.
  3. Mix coffee and coffee liqueur in a shallow dish. Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are moist but not soggy.
