Servings: 10 people
Equipment
- 1 9x13 baking pan
- 1 hand mixer
Ingredients
- 2 boxes ladyfingers (400 grams)
- 5 eggs whites and yolks separated
- 1 tub marscarpone cheese (475 grams)
- 1 brick cream cheese (250 grams) 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 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!
