Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 tablespoons brewed espresso

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 3 ½ ounces dark chocolate, broken into small pieces

  • 2 tablespoons Marsala wine or rum (Optional)

  • 2 egg yolks

  • 4 teaspoons white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese

  • ¾ cup heavy cream

Directions

  1. Combine espresso and butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water.

  2. Place dark chocolate pieces in the espresso mixture; cook without stirring until chocolate starts to melt, about 3 minutes. Whisk chocolate and espresso mixture until well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. Combine Marsala, egg yolks, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking constantly until frothy and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

  4. Stir mascarpone cheese into marsala mixture.

  5. Combine chocolate mixture with mascarpone mixture. Cool to room temperature.

  6. Whip heavy cream in a bowl until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.

  7. Fold half of whipped cream into cooled chocolate mixture.

  8. Fold second half of whipped cream into chocolate mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
