👨‍🍳 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 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. 4
    Dip the biscuits in the coffee for a second and arrange a layer in the dish.
    Baking pan
    💡Dip for just a second: the biscuit keeps soaking up moisture from the cream in the fridge, and an over-soaked biscuit falls apart into mush.
  2. 5
    Spread half of the mascarpone cream on top.
  3. 6
    Repeat with another layer of biscuits and cream.
  4. 7
    Cover and chill in the fridge 6 hours, and dust the cocoa on top just before serving.
