Egg yolks (6)
White sugar (1 1/4 cups)
Mascarpone cheese (1 1/4 cups)
Heavy whipping cream (1 3/4 cups)
Ladyfingers -12 ounce packages (2)
Coffee flavored liqueur (1/3 cup)
Unsweetened cocoa powder-for dusting (1 teaspoon)
Square semisweet chocolate -1 ounce (1)
Preparations:
Combine the egg yolks with the sugar in the top of a double boiler; which is over boiling water. Then reduce the heat to low, and cook this for about 10 minutes. Ensure that you keep stirring this constantly. Once you are through, remove from heat. Whip the yolks until it thickens.
Add the mascarpone cheese to these whipped yolks. Beat this mixture until it combines. Whip some cream in a separate bowl, till it forms stiff peaks. You will need to gently fold this into the yolk mixture. Set this aside.
Split the ladyfingers in half and use them to line the bottom and the sides of a glass bowl. Gently brush with some coffee liqueur and spoon half of the cream filling over this. Repeat the layer of the ladyfingers, coffee liqueur and the filling layers. Use some cocoa and chocolate curls (these can be made with the help of a vegetable peeler) to garnish. Refrigerate this overnight, ideally, or keep it cold for at least a couple of hours.
I hope you enjoy it G. I miss chatting with you.
