Ingredients
- 12 ounces mascarpone softened at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 package savoiardi biscuits or ladyfingers
- 3/4 cup strong espresso
- 1/4 cup Frangelico or another hazelnut liqueur
- 1/3 cup hazelnuts candied and crushed
Instructions
- Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl for 2 minutes or until well mixed.
- Make a bain-marie, or water bath with a saucepan filled halfway up water. Place the bowl so it rests on the saucepan, but not on the water. Bring the water to a boil and reduce heat to a slow boil. Whisk the egg and sugar mixture constantly for about 8 minutes or until the eggs reach a temperature of 160° F.
- Remove eggs from heat and allow to cool about 5-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile using a hand mixer, whip the mascarpone for about 2 minutes. Add egg mixture and whip another minute, or until combined.
- Combine espresso and hazelnut liqueur together in a shallow dish.
- Dip each ladyfinger briefly (count to 3) in espresso mixture and place them in a layer on the bottom of an 8" x 8" baking dish. Break biscuits to fit.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the top of the biscuits
- Sprinkle crushed, candied hazelnuts over the top of the cream.
- Repeat with a second layer of ladyfingers, laying them in the opposite direction. Break the biscuits in half in order to fit them in the baking dish.
- Top with remaining mascarpone cream. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours. (Over-night is better)
- Just before serving dust with unsweetened cocoa powder and decorate with remaining candied hazelnuts if desired.
