Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large egg yolks
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • ⅔ cup milk
  • 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pound mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup strong brewed coffee, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons rum
  • 2 (3 ounce) packages ladyfinger cookies
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy.
  2. In a saucepan, heat the milk and heavy cream over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat.
  3. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and mascarpone cheese until smooth.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the brewed coffee and rum.
  7. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture and layer them in a serving dish.
  8. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
  9. Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
  10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  11. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum.
  • Ensure the mascarpone cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Can be made a day in advance for better flavor.
