Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
• 16 oz (450 g) mascarpone

How it's made

1. Whisk yolks and sugar over a pan of barely simmering water until thick and pale, about 5 minutes, then cool.
2. Beat in the mascarpone until smooth.
3. Whip the cream to stiff peaks and fold it into the mascarpone mixture.
4. Quickly dip each ladyfinger in the coffee and line the bottom of an 8x8-inch dish.
5. Spread half the cream over, then repeat with a second layer of dipped ladyfingers and the rest of the cream.
6. Chill at least 6 hours, then dust with cocoa before serving.
