dish

500 g mascarpone
100 g icing sugar
200 g ladyfingers
4 egg yolks
2 egg whites
about 450 ml coffee cooled
unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
opt. 2 tbsp amaretto

Method

Beat the egg yolks and icing sugar until pale and fluffy, then stir in the amaretto.
Carefully stir in the mascarpone – not with an electric mixer, or the cream will turn runny. A large whisk or a wooden spoon works best.
Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks and gently fold them in.
Quickly dip the ladyfingers in the cold coffee and let them drain briefly on kitchen paper.
Spread a layer of cream in a dish, top with a layer of ladyfingers and keep going until everything is used up.
Chill for 2–4 hours (ideally overnight) and dust with cocoa just before serving.
