Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 6 egg yolks

  • 1 cup white sugar, divided

  • 1 pound mascarpone cheese

  • 6 egg whites, stiffly beaten

  • ¼ cup heavy cream

  • 3 tablespoons kirschwasser

  • 1 ¼ cups strong brewed coffee, cold

  • 25 ladyfingers

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl beat together the egg yolks and 1/3 cup of sugar. Using a wooden spoon stir in mascarpone cheese, beaten egg whites, cream and kirschwasser; stir until smooth. Set aside.

  2. Dissolve remaining 2/3 cup sugar in coffee. Quickly, to avoid complete saturation, dip ends of ladyfingers in coffee mixture. Place ladyfingers in a single layer in a 9 x 13 inch glass baking dish. Spread a layer of cheese mixture over the ladyfingers; repeat layers, ending with cheese mixture.

  3. Cover and refrigerate for several hours. Sprinkle with cocoa just before serving.
