Categories     Cake     Coffee     Dessert

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
1 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 -12 oz packages Italian Lady fingers
1/2 cup cold espresso
1/4 cup coffee flavored Liquor (optional)
1 tbsp cocoa for dusting

Steps:

  • Combine egg yolks and sugar in the top of a double boiler, over boiling water. Reduce heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. This is your sabayon, remove from the heat and whip yolks until thick and lemon colored. Add Mascarpone to whipped yolks, beat until combined. In a separate bowl, whip cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream in the mascarpone sabayon mixture and set aside. Mix the cold espresso with the coffee liquor and dip the lady fingers into the mixture just long enough to get them wet, do not soak them! Arrange the lady fingers in the bottom of a 8 inch square baking dish (or 6×9) Spoon half the mascarpone cream filling over the lady fingers. Repeat process with another layer. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Dust with cocoa before serving After all my years of making Tiramisu, I do have to say this is my best effort. The cream would also make very nice individual servings in dessert glasses, with or with out the ladyfingers. Feel free to use any cookie in the bottom of the glass, or serve it with a lady finger as a garnish.
