Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225g) mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (240ml) espresso or strong coffee, cooled
- About 24 ladyfingers
- 3/4 cup (150g) sugar, divided
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp (16g) cornstarch
- Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions
- Make the Custard Base (10 minutes): In a medium saucepan, whisk together 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 2 cups whole milk over medium heat. Stir constantly until thickened and bubbling, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and let cool slightly.
- Whip the Cream (5 minutes): In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Combine Mascarpone and Custard (3 minutes): Fold mascarpone cheese into the warm custard base until smooth. Then fold in the whipped cream carefully.
- Dip Ladyfingers and Layer (5 minutes): Quickly dip each ladyfinger into cooled espresso for no more than 1 second per side. Arrange a layer in the dish, spread half the mascarpone custard mixture over them, repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and remaining custard.
- Chill and Dust (At least 4 hours, preferably overnight): Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Before serving, dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.
