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:)
What size dish do you recommend? Anyone who has made this?
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!
