directions

  • In a large bowl beat sugar and egg yolks well-you want it a pale yellow creamy color.
  • Add mascarpone and beat until JUST mixed.
  • In a small bowl beat egg whites until you get stiff peaks.
  • Fold into mascarpone mixture.
  • In another small bowl combine espresso and booze.
  • Dip cookies and place 1 layer in an 8x8-inch deep-dish glass casserole dish.
  • Cover with half the cheese mixture.
  • Top that with another layer of dipped cookies and top with remaining cheese.
  • Sprinkle with cocoa.
  • A nice touch would be to also add chocolate curls.
  • Refrigerate.

  1. Great recipe, easy to make. I used 5 tbsp of amaretto in place of coffee liqueur, 4 tbsp of sugar in the egg yolk mix and 2 tsp of sugar in the whisked egg white mix. Next time I make this recipe, I will be more careful about how long I am dipping the lady finger cookies into the coffee/liquor. A swift dip will suffice for it to moisten over night because I found mine to be too soggy at serving time (though it didn't detract from the taste). Finally, I added a little bakers chocolate shavings into the marscapone mix. Prima!
     
  2. Great easy recipe! I substitutes 5 tbsp of brandy for the 3 tbsp coffee liquer. Thanks Diana, another winner
     
  3. Wonderful recipe~! I made this at the holidays and my guests just RAVED about it! I would definately make this one again.
     
  4. Once again a great recipe by Chef Diana. I made this for our anniversary celebration and it was a sinfully rich, very easy to prepare and beautiful in presentation. Will definitely be making this again! Thanks Di!
     
  5. I decided to get all brave and make this--damn the salmonella full speed ahead! If you had the patience of Job, I think you could whisk the sugar/yolks in a double boiler over extremely low heat to bring the temp up to 140 F. Likewise with the whites (like you are making a sabayon). But, again, patience of Job!!!<br/>As to flavor--I punched it up per others' suggestions by adding extra sugar (double the amt. called for) Amaretto, almond extract, lots of extra chocolate. <br/>Oh, and a final thing: my ladyfingers where the hard Italian ones--Sar..something I think they are called. Ina Garten talked about them on her show when she made Tiramisu...<br/>ANYWAY--I liked the result. <br/>Will post again if I get bad food poisoning! :-)

  1. Delicious! Subbed 1/4 cup Cognac for the coffee liqueur. Good made in the morning and served at night.
