I’ve made this several times and here are some tips: - Really wisk the sugar and egg yolks- it was about 3-5 minutes for me. It grew to almost double - whip the cream to stiff peaks - marscapone is only accesible to me in 1 cup or 8oz increments so I either use sour cream or cream cheese -use a smaller container than you think you need, I’d rather left over in a bowl to eat later than an empty container - dust the bottom with chocolate powder too :)
I've made this exactly as written 3 times in the past three weeks. Need I say more?
Made this exactly as listed and my family really enjoyed it!
Super easy to make! And, I made my own lady fingers:)
An instant classic. To make sure it holds together, whip the egg mixture and the cream together AGAIN when you mix them! And also consider adding a little orange zest - it perfectly offsets the chocolate and coffee flavors and brightens the whole thing.
This was delicious and so easy. I added a little liquor to the eggs before the marscapone—1 T brandy and a couple teaspoons of rum and Cointreau I also made gluten free ladyfingers because I was taking it for a dinner party and the host is GF and you couldn’t tell the difference. They were perfect!
This recipe is quick and easy. I do find it needing a bit more flavor. I add kahlua to my whipped cream, then fold with sugar mix.
