Ingredients
  

  • 300 grams ladyfingers
  • 500 grams mascarpone cheese
  • 300 milliliters filter coffee
  • 4 eggs
  • 100 grams sugar
  • cocoa powder to sprinkle
  • 1 teaspoon sugar to the coffee

Instructions
 

  • Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks and beat the egg yolks with half of the sugar.
  • Add the mascarpone cheese bit by bit and keep beating. Keep the mixture aside and wash your beater blades before beating the egg whites.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites, adding the second half of the sugar little by little .
  • Spoon the mixture of egg whites and sugar into the bowl where you have the first mixture. Mix with a spatula and keep adding the rest.
  • Take a 30x20cm baking dish and start spreading the mascarpone cheese mixture on the surface. Use less than a third of the mixture.
  • Dip the ladyfingers swiftly in coffee on both sides and start placing them next to each other to create a layer.
  • After finishing the first layer, cover it with half of the remaining mascarpone mix. Create another layer just like the first one, and cover that with the rest of the mixture.
  • Let it rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Sprinkle cocoa powder to cover the entire surface before serving.

Notes

  • Be careful when separating the eggs. The whites must not contain any part of the egg yolks.
  • Before dipping the ladyfingers in coffee, make sure the coffee has cooled down. Also, add a teaspoon of sugar to the coffee if you wish.
  • When spreading the mascarpone cheese, do it evenly.
