Ingredients
- 6 large egg yolks
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 16 ounces mascarpone cheese room temperature
- ¾ cup strong brewed coffee room temperature
- 2 ½ tablespoons Kahlúa
- 1 7-ounce package ladyfingers (see note)
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- Chocolate curls optional
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until well blended. Whisk in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil gently for 1 minute, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Mixture will appear slightly curdled - this is totally okay. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Once the egg yolk mixture has chilled, prepare the whipped cream.
- In a medium bowl, beat cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Whisk or beat together the chilled egg yolk mixture with the mascarpone until smooth. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine coffee and Kahlua. Roll each ladyfinger in the coffee mixture once or twice. Take care not to oversaturate the ladyfingers.
- Arrange half of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 7x11 inch dish. Spread half of mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers, then half of whipped cream over that. Repeat layers and lightly dust with cocoa. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, but preferably overnight.
Notes
- This recipe uses the dry, crunchy type of ladyfingers, similar to biscotti, because they are readily available in most grocery stores. I typically find them near the Italian section.
- If using soft, cakey ladyfingers, you’ll need 2 (3-ounce) packages. Reduce the amount of coffee to ¼ cup and the Kahlua to 2 tablespoons. Brush the ladyfingers with the coffee mixture as opposed to soaking them.
- I personally much prefer this recipe with Kahlua, but you could also use dark rum.
- Slightly adapted from Allrecipes.
