Ingredients
  • CREAM:
  • 1/2 cup 4oz(120ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup 80z(226g) mascarpone cheese
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum brandy, marsala wine(Non-alcoholic version - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract )
  • 1 tablespoon + 2 and 1/2 tablespoons sugar divided (or to taste)(Ref notes)

  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons instant coffee granules

  • ADDITIONAL:
  • 8 Ladyfingers or more as needed Check notes for eggless substitute
  • cocoa powder for dusting
  • grated chocolate optional
Instructions
  1. COFFEE:
  2. Add coffee granules and sugar to water and place it over high heat till the mixture simmers. Turn the heat to low and let it reduce down a little about 2-3 minutes. Take it off the stove and keep it aside to cool completely.

  3. CREAM:
  4. In a bowl cream together mascaporne cheese + 2 and 1/2 tablespoons sugar + rum until creamy. Do not overheat or cheese will curdle. Taste and adjust sweetness.
  5. In another bowl beat heavy whipping cream + 1 tablespoon sugar until stiff peak forms. Add this into the mascaporne cheese and fold gently. Taste and adjust sugar as needed.
  6. ASSEMBLING:
  7. If using small servings, cut the ladyfingers in half.

  8. Add a spoon of cream in the bottom of the serving cup. Take a ladyfingers, dip it in coffee and immediately place it in the serving cup, creating one layer. Spoon some more cream on top. Add one more layer of coffee soaked ladyfingers. Add the cream.

  9. Repeat the same process for remaining cups.
  10. Place a plastic wrap touching the top of the cream. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours. Putting a plastic wrap touching the top of the cream will avoid water from condensation.

  11. GARNISHING:
  12. Before serving, sprinkle the top with cocoa powder and chocolate shavings.
Recipe Notes

Sugar: I used fine granulated sugar. Confectioners sugar/Icing sugar is easier to mix. If you are using confectioners sugar, you might have to add a little more.

Lady fingers substitute-(For eggless version and otherwise): You can add a layer of white cake. Place a thin layer of cake, then drizzle with coffee and then repeat the process. (Alternately you can also cut the white cake or sponge cake into strips and bake for 10 minutes until crisp)

Depending on the size of the glass or baking dish, you might need more ladyfingers.
