Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 500 g mascarpone
  • 200 g ladyfingers
  • 150 g sugar
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 125 ml coffee (espresso)
  • 2 cl Amaretto
  • Chocolate (dark chocolate), grated

Instructions

Working time approx. 35 minutes; Rest time approx. 12 hours; Total time approx. 12 hours 35 minutes

Brew the espresso and let it cool. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl until frothy. Add the mascarpone and grated dark chocolate and mix everything into a cream. For a more fluid consistency, add amaretto. Soak 100g of ladyfingers halfway in espresso and line a baking dish (approx. 25×15 cm). Spread half of the egg yolk, sugar, and mascarpone cream over the sponges, ensuring they are completely covered. Now place the other half of the espresso-soaked ladyfingers on top of the cream. Finally, spread the other half of the cream on top. It’s best to refrigerate overnight. Dust generously with cocoa powder before serving.
