Ingredients

Servings
  • 16-20 lady finger cookies (Savoiardi)
  • ¾-1 cup strong cold coffee (espresso)

FOR THE FILLING

  • 1 large egg* room temperature
  • tablespoons granulated sugar*
  • 1 cup mascarpone (room temperature)
  • 1 cup cream (whole/heavy or whipping cream with at least 30% fat content)

*For the replacement of raw eggs, you can try using a product called Egg Replacer or there are now pasteurized eggs available. Or you can leave it out completely, if you do then substitute powdered/icing sugar for granulated sugar.

Instructions

FOR THE FILLING

  1. In a large bowl beat together the sugar and egg until frothy, then add the mascarpone and cream, beat until thickened, make it as thick as you desire, some like it thicker and some creamier.
  2. Place the cold coffee in a large enough dish so that you can easily turn the cookies, be sure to just turn the cookies once in the coffee and do not let them sit in it or they will become too soggy.
  3. In an 8x6 inch (20x14cm)* baking dish place a dipped cookie (one at a time) on the bottom (1st layer) top with 1/3 of the filling and continue for another two layers. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours or even better overnight. Just before serving sprinkle with unsweetened cocoa powder or even chocolate shavings. Enjoy!

*If you want to use a bigger pan then you will probably need to double the recipe. Unless of course you only make 2 layers.

Notes

  • Whole/heavy/whipping cream will have at least 30% fat. Don't use anything less or it won't thicken properly and won't taste the same. 
  • For room temperature remove from the fridge 45-60 minutes before using. 
  • If you wish you can add some alcohol to the recipe, I would suggest a tablespoon or two, such as marsala wine, brandy, dark rum or even a coffee liqueur or even a teaspoon of vanilla if you prefer will work. I would suggest adding it with the mascarpone.
  • The Italian dessert should be kept in the fridge in an airtight container or well covered with plastic wrap, it will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge. If you prefer you can freeze it in a freezer safe container, it will keep for up to two weeks in the freezer. Let it thaw overnight in fridge before serving.
