Ingredients
-
1/2 c. strong espresso coffee or 1 1/2 tsp. instant coffee dissolved in water
3 Tbsp. rum substitute
3 1/2 oz. bitter chocolate
3 egg yolks
4 Tbsp. sugar
1 1/4 c. mascarpone cheese
2 egg whites
20 ladyfingers
chocolate covered coffee beans for garnish
Preparation
-
Mix together the coffee and rum substitute.
Grate around 1/4 of the chocolate and cut the rest into small pieces.
Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture is very pale and forms a ribbon.
Fold in the mascarpone, one tablespoon at a time.
Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then fold them into the mascarpone and egg yolk mixture.
Put a layer of ladyfingers on an oval dish.
Dip a pastry brush into the coffee mixture and soak the ladyfingers with it.
Spread about 4 tablespoons of the mascarpone cheese over the ladyfingers and scatter the pieces of chocolate.
Cover with a layer of ladyfingers, soak with coffee and so on, layering by using all of the ingredients.
End with a layer of mascarpone cheese. Refrigerate for 6 hours.
Sprinkle grated chocolate and coffee beans for garnish.
