👨‍🍳 Method

For the Cream Filling

  1. 1
    Beat the yolks with the sugar until pale and airy.
    WhiskorHand mixer
  2. 2
    Add the mascarpone and mix gently.
    💡Mix the mascarpone gently and don't whip it: hard mixing separates the fat and the cream turns grainy and runny.
  3. 3
    Whip the cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold it into the mascarpone cream.

    💡Whip cream very cold, in a chilled bowl with chilled beaters, and stop when it holds firm: overwhipping turns it grainy and buttery.
  4. 4
    Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold them gently into the mixture.

    💡Whip egg whites in a clean, dry bowl, without a drop of yolk.

To assemble

  1. 5
    Mix the cold coffee with the liqueur.
  2. 6
    Dip the gluten-free biscuits in the coffee for a second and arrange a layer in the dish.

    💡Dip for just a second: the gluten-free biscuits keeps soaking up moisture from the cream in the fridge, and an over-soaked gluten-free biscuits falls apart into mush.
  3. 7
    Spread half of the mascarpone cream on top.
  4. 8
    Repeat with another layer of gluten-free biscuits and cream.
  5. 9
