Ingredients
- 4 egg yolks
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup whole milk
- 8 ounces mascarpone (225 grams)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ⅔ cup strong brewed coffee (or espresso, room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons Kahlua liquor (or brandy)
- 18 to 20 ladyfinger cookies
- unsweetened cocoa powder (chocolate shavings, for garnish, optional)
Steps
-
In a medium saucepan, whisk egg yolks, sugar, and milk together until combined. Place over medium heat, and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened (don't rush, this can take 10-15 minutes).
-
Remove from the heat and stir in mascarpone and vanilla and let custard cool to room temperature.
-
Whip cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the cooled custard.
-
In a small bowl, combine coffee and Kahlua.
-
Dip ladyfingers in coffee mixture, turning in the liquid 2 or 3 times. Place a single layer in the bottom of an 8x8" pan.
-
Cover with half of the mascarpone custard, then repeat layers one more time.
-
Cover and chill for at least 6 hours before serving. Dust with cocoa powder and top with chocolate shavings before serving as desired.
