Equipment

  • 1 9x13 baking pan
  • 1 hand mixer

Ingredients

  • 400 grams ladyfingers
  • 5 eggs whites and yolks separated
  • 475 gram tub marscarpone cheese
  • 250 gram block cream cheese room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 4 cups strong coffee 4 cups water to 6 tsp ground coffee
  • 3 tbsp khalua liquor
  • cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  • Begin by brewing the coffee.
    Once it's finished brewing, pour it into a large bowl followed by the kahlua and let cool for at least 20 minutes.
    Sammy's notes: you want the coffee at room temperature so that the ladyfingers don't break down when you dunk them.
  • Separate both the egg whites and yolks. Set aside until ready to use.
  • To a medium sized mixing bowl add the egg whites and using a hand mixer, beat continuously on low/medium speed until they form stiff peaks. About 3 minutes.
  • To a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the cream cheese, white granulated sugar and vanilla until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
  • Add the egg yolks and gently mix until incorporate well.
  • Fold in the mascarpone (do not beat) and mix until combined.
  • Fold the egg whites into the mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Dip the ladyfingers one at a time into the coffee mixture (don’t let soak, just a quick dunk) and lay evenly, side by side in your baking dish.
    Repeat until the entire base of the baking dish is full.
  • Add half of the cream cheese/mascarpone mixture onto the ladyfingers and spread evenly.
  • Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers and finish with the remaining cream cheese/mascarpone mixture.
  • Dust with coca powder, cover with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Slice, serve, and enjoy!
