I got this recipe from Ciao Italia and think it's the best I've ever tasted. Be sure to use a good quality espresso and cognac. Enjoy. Ingredients:
3 large eggs, separated |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/8 teaspoon sugar |
1 tablespoon espresso |
1 cup espresso |
2 tablespoons cognac |
1 cup mascarpone cheese |
2 tablespoons cocoa |
20 italian ladyfingers, toasted |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon espresso, and cognac.
2. Beat mixture with a beater until foamy (2-3 minutes).
3. Add cheese and mix 3-5 minutes until mixture is very smooth.
4. In a large bowl combine egg whites with 1/8 teaspoon of sugar and beat until stiff.
5. Gently fold mascarpone mixture into whites.
6. Set aside.
7. Pour 1 cup espresso into shallow bowl.
8. Dip each ladyfinger quickly on both sides into espresso.
9. Arrange a layer of 6-7 ladyfingers in bottom of a decorative serving bowl.
10. Spread 1/3 mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers.
11. Continue layering, finishing with the mascarpone mixture.
12. Sift cocoa over top and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
