  • 200 g Ladyfingers (Savoiardi Bisquits)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

1.⁠ ⁠Prepare the cream:
2.⁠ ⁠In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until you get a light and fluffy mixture. Add the mascarpone and gently mix until smooth.
3.⁠ ⁠In another bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture.
4.⁠ ⁠Prepare the coffee:
5.⁠ ⁠Brew the espresso and let it cool. If desired, add the liqueur.
