Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 250 ml (250g) espresso coffee
- 40 ml (40g) Kahlua optional
- 6 large egg yolks
- 165g caster sugar
- 750 grams mascarpone
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 30 Savoiardi ladyfinger sponges
- cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Make the espresso coffee and add it to a medium bowl. Add the Kahlua if you are using it. Set this aside to cool.
- For the conventional method: Set up a small saucepan of gently simmering water over your stove. Place the egg yolks and sugar in a large, heat-proof bowl that fits over the saucepan without touching the water. Beat the yolks and sugar continually over the heat until they are pale, fluffy, and have doubled in volume. Let this cool slightly.
- For the Thermomix method: Insert the Butterfly whisk into the Thermomix bowl. Add the egg yolks and sugar and mix for 6 minutes, 37 degrees, Speed 4. (For a pregnancy-friendly variation, mix for 4 minutes at 37 degrees, Speed 4, then scrape down the sides and mix for 2 minutes at 75 degrees, Speed 4. Continue at 75 degrees, Speed 4 for 1 minute if needed.)
- Continue with the mascarpone: Using electric beaters on low speed (or Thermomix method), add the mascarpone and vanilla bean paste to the egg yolk mixture and beat until stiff. (For Thermomix: Set the machine to mix for 3 minutes, Speed 3. Slowly add the mascarpone and vanilla bean paste through the MC hole while the blades turn.)
- Prepare for assembly: Place the coffee mixture, ladyfinger sponges, and an 18 X 29 cm tray on your counter.
- Dip each side of a sponge finger into the coffee and Kahlua mixture quickly, only for 1 second per side to prevent sogginess. Let excess coffee drip off.
- Assemble the first layer: Arrange the dipped sponges in a single layer in the bottom of your dish, cutting sponges to fill any gaps.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the sponge layer.
- Repeat the process: Create a final layer of coffee-soaked sponges. Spread or pipe the remaining mascarpone over the top.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to set.
- Before serving, top with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or dark chocolate shavings.
Notes
- If you are pregnant, ensure the egg mixture reaches 75 degrees Celsius during the Thermomix heating step.
- Do not over-soak the Savoiardi ladyfingers; a quick 1-second dip on each side is enough.
- Vanilla bean paste provides a richer flavor than extract.
