Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 24-30 ladyfingers
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, combine the cooled coffee and Baileys Irish Cream. Set aside.
- In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water). Whisk constantly until the mixture is pale yellow and thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold the cooled egg yolk mixture into the mascarpone until well combined.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until no streaks remain.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee-Baileys mixture, ensuring they are moist but not soggy. Arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone cream mixture.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
- Before serving, dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.
Notes
- Ensure your coffee is strong and cooled completely before soaking the ladyfingers.
- For a firmer set, you can add an extra hour of chilling time.
- Adjust the amount of Baileys to your preference.
- This dessert is best enjoyed within 2-3 days of preparation.
