Servings: 9 servings
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons sugar divided
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 1 ¾ cup strong brewed coffee hot
- 7 ounces lady finger cookies
- unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Add eggs and 1/2 cup of sugar to the bowl of stand mixer. Beat with whisk attachment on medium-high until light and super fluffy, about 7 minutes. Add vanilla and mascarpone cheese and beat for 1 more minute. Set aside.
Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to hot brewed coffee and ix together. Place into a shallow dish. Dip one lady finger into coffee and hold for 2 seconds, but no more than that! It'll start to fall apart if it soaks for too long. Lay into a square dish. Repeat with more lady fingers until you create one even layer.
Spread on half of the mascarpone mixture. Repeat with the rest of the lady fingers and the last layer of mascarpone. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Before serving, dust cocoa powder all over. Left overs can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
