Ingredients
strong coffee1.25 cups
espresso powder or0.75 tablespoon
rum3 tablespoons
egg yolks3 large
sugar1 cup
table salt0.125 teaspoon
mascarpone cheese12 ounces
heavy cream1 cup
ladyfingers - use ones not7 ounces
bittersweet chocolate2 tablespoons
Instructions
Step 1
Stir coffee, espresso, and 1 tablespoons rum in wide bowl or baking dish until espresso dissolves; set aside. (if you want a stronger alcohol taste, use 3 tbs)
Step 2
In bowl of standing mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat yolks at low speed until just combined.
Step 3
Add sugar and salt and beat at medium-high speed until pale yellow, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, scraping down bowl with rubber spatula once or twice.
Step 4
Add remaining 2 tablespoons rum and beat at medium speed until just combined, 20 to 30 seconds; scrape bowl.
Step 5
Add mascarpone and beat at medium speed until no lumps remain, 30 to 45 seconds, scraping down bowl once or twice.
Step 6
Transfer mixture to large bowl and set aside.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, beat cream at medium speed with a hand held mixer until frothy, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Increase speed to high and continue to beat until cream holds stiff peaks, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes longer. Using rubber spatula, fold one-third of whipped cream into mascarpone mixture to lighten, then gently fold in remaining whipped cream until no white streaks remain. Set mascarpone mixture aside.
Step 8
Working one at a time, drop half of ladyfingers into coffee mixture, roll, remove, and transfer to 8 by 8-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. (Do not submerge ladyfingers in coffee mixture; entire process should take no longer than 2 to 3 seconds for each cookie.) Arrange soaked cookies in single layer in baking dish, breaking or trimming ladyfingers as needed to fit neatly into dish.
Step 9
Spread half of mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers; use rubber spatula to spread mixture to sides and into corners of dish and smooth surface.
Step 10
Place 1 tablespoons cocoa in fine-mesh strainer and dust cocoa over mascarpone until you can no longer see the mascarpone. Repeat dipping and arrangement of ladyfingers; spread remaining mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers and dust with remaining 1 tablespoons cocoa.
Step 11
Wipe edges of dish with dry paper towel. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 6 to 24 hours.
Step 12
Sprinkle with grated chocolate, if using; cut into pieces and serve chilled.
Step 13
You can also make individual servings in dessert cups. I found some at Cost Plus World Market
