🧂 Ingredients

  • Queso mascarpone
    500g
  • Huevos
    4
  • Azúcar
    100g
  • Bizcochos de soletilla
    200g
  • Café espresso frío
    300ml
  • Cacao puro en polvo
    para espolvorear
  • Amaretto (opcional)
    2 cucharadas

📋 Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the espresso coffee and let it cool completely. You can add a splash of amaretto or rum if desired.

  2. 2

    Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the yolks with the sugar in a large bowl until you get a creamy, pale mixture that forms ribbons when lifting the whisk.

  3. 3

    Incorporate the mascarpone into the yolk mixture little by little, mixing gently with a spatula until you get a smooth cream without lumps.

  4. 4

    Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks with a pinch of salt. Incorporate the beaten whites into the mascarpone cream in three batches, with gentle folding motions from bottom to top to not lose the air.

  5. 5

    Quickly dip the ladyfinger biscuits in the cold coffee (1-2 seconds on each side, don't soak too long or they'll fall apart). Place a layer at the bottom of a rectangular dish.

  6. 6

    Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the biscuits. Sprinkle abundant cocoa powder on top using a sieve.

  7. 7

    Place another layer of coffee-soaked biscuits and cover with the rest of the cream.

  8. 8

    Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Before serving, sprinkle a generous layer of cocoa powder.
