Servings 12
Ingredients
- 400 gr mascarpone
- 300 gr lady fingers
- 4 eggs
- 60 ml maple syrup
- 60 gr sugar
- 150 ml coffee
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 50 ml marsala or sherry
- 50 ml water
- 30 gr cocoa
- 50 gr kefir or kefir cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the coffee (if you use a moka pot, a 6-cups size is good, or make it twice with a smaller moka)
- Pour the coffee in a bowl that is large enough to dip the ladyfingers. Add the marsala and some water if you like, or skip both, they are optional.
- Separate the yolks and the egg whites into two large bowls.
- Add the maple syrup to the yolks and whisk to incorporate. Add the mascarpone a little at a time to keep it creamy. Add the kefir or the kefir cheese and mix gently.
- Whip the egg whites until you reach soft peaks. Add the sugar to the egg whites a little at a time, until still peaks form.
- Fold the merengue gently into the mascarpone mixture.
- Take a 14x10in. (35x25cm) glass dish that is around 2.5/3in. deep (8cm) and start layering the ingredients.
- Cover the dish with the ladyfingers quickly dipped in the coffee. Then add a layer of cream.
- Repeat the previous step and then dust the dark cocoa on top to cover the surface.
- Cover with a lid or a plastic wrap and keep in the fridge for at least 10h to get the best flavors.
