Ingredients
- 9 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup raspberry liqueur
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups mascarpone cheese room temperature
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 2 cups strong coffee freshly brewed
- 2 ounces dark chocolate finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract optional
- 48 hard lady fingers
- 1 cup seedless raspberry jam divided
- 6 ounce containers fresh raspberries
- unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
- chocolate shavings for dusting, optional
Instructions
- Prepare Water Bath: Fill a large saucepan with 3 inches of water. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer.
- Make Base Mixture: In a large heat-safe bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar with electric mixer until pale and thick (3-4 minutes). Mix in raspberry liqueur and salt at low speed.
- Heat Mixture: Place bowl over simmering water (double-boiler method). Beat continuously until mixture reaches 145°F (about 10 minutes). Ensure constant mixing to prevent curdling.
- Add Mascarpone: Remove from heat. Gradually incorporate mascarpone cheese, mixing until smooth. Let cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Prepare Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold into cooled mascarpone mixture.
- Make Coffee Mixture: Combine hot coffee with chocolate, stirring until melted. Add vanilla and almond extracts.
- First Layer: Quickly dip half the ladyfingers in coffee mixture and arrange in 9x13-inch dish. Top with half the raspberry jam, then half the mascarpone mixture. Distribute 2 cups fresh raspberries evenly.
- Second Layer: Repeat layering with remaining ingredients: ladyfingers, jam, mascarpone mixture, and fresh raspberries.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for minimum 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Finish & Serve: Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and garnish with shaved chocolate.
