Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 6 eggs, separated

  • 3 tablespoons white sugar

  • 1 pound mascarpone cheese

  • 2 tablespoons brandy

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ cups strong brewed coffee, room temperature

  • 30 ladyfinger cookies

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar with electric mixer until light yellow, 1 minute. Beat in mascarpone, brandy, and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry. Fold egg whites into mascarpone mixture.
