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

  1. Prepare Water Bath: Fill a large saucepan with 3 inches of water. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add Mascarpone: Remove from heat. Gradually incorporate mascarpone cheese, mixing until smooth. Let cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  5. Prepare Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold into cooled mascarpone mixture.
  6. Make Coffee Mixture: Combine hot coffee with chocolate, stirring until melted. Add vanilla and almond extracts.
  7. 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.
  8. Second Layer: Repeat layering with remaining ingredients: ladyfingers, jam, mascarpone mixture, and fresh raspberries.
  9. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for minimum 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
  10. Finish & Serve: Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and garnish with shaved chocolate.
