Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 jumbo egg yolks, at room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark rum, divided
1 1/2 cups brewed espresso, divided
16 -17 ounces mascarpone cheese
30 ladyfingers
bittersweet chocolate, shaved
confectioners' sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on high speed for about 5 minutes, or until very thick and light yellow.
  • Lower the speed to medium and add 1/4 cup rum, 1/4 cup espresso, and the mascarpone. Whisk until smooth.
  • Combine the remaining 1/4 cup rum and 1 1/4 cups espresso in a shallow bowl.
  • Dip 1 side of each ladyfinger in the espresso/rum mixture and line the bottom of a 9 by 12 by 2-inch dish.
  • Pour half the espresso cream mixture evenly on top.
  • Dip 1 side of the remaining ladyfingers in the espresso/rum mixture and place them in a second layer in the dish.
  • Pour the rest of the espresso cream over the top.
  • Smooth the top and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate overnight.
  • Before serving, sprinkle the top with shaved chocolate and dust lightly with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
  • Notes: To make espresso for this recipe in your electric drip coffee maker, use enough water for 4 cups of coffee plus 1/3 cup of ground espresso.
  • You can find savoiardi and mascarpone in an Italian specialty store.
