🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Prepare the mascarpone cream: separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the yolks with sugar and vanilla until the mixture whitens and becomes frothy. Incorporate the mascarpone and mix until you get a smooth and homogeneous cream.

  2. 2

    Whip the egg whites into stiff peaks with a pinch of salt. Gently incorporate them into the mascarpone cream by lifting the preparation with a spatula to preserve lightness.

  3. 3

    Mix the cooled coffee with the rum if using. Quickly dip the ladyfinger biscuits in this mixture (1 second per side) without soaking them. Arrange a first layer of biscuits at the bottom of a rectangular dish.

  4. 4

    Cover the biscuits with half of the mascarpone cream. Add a second layer of soaked biscuits, then finish with the remaining cream. Smooth the surface with a spatula.

  5. 5

    Generously sprinkle with bitter cocoa using a fine sieve. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (ideally overnight) before serving.

Tips & Tricks
  • Essential rest: Preparing the day before allows flavors to fully develop
  • Alcoholic variation: Replace rum with Marsala or Grand Marnier
  • Perfect texture: Use well-chilled mascarpone and incorporate egg whites in three batches
  • Optimal coffee: Use strong, well-cooled coffee for dipping
