You know nothing about bliss if you have never tasted this traditional Italian dessert. There are many variations of this heavenly food, so I'm going to tell you how I make it.
ingredients: (for filling about 35x15cm pan with two layers)
- 500g of mascarpone
- 5 tablespoons of sugar
- 5 eggs
- 2 tablespoons of amaretto
- a cup of very strong coffee
- a bag of savoiardi (the number varies according to your pan, so you will find out once you start making it)
- a pinch of salt
- cocoa powder
Take the yolks and sugar and try to whisk them till they create a smooth-ish blend.
In a separate bowl try to whip the whites with a pinch of salt (the salt makes it much faster and easier to reach desired consistency) until the mixture is no longer liquidy but reamins the way you leave it (soft peaks or something like that).
In the meantime, you can make your coffee and add amaretto so that it has time to cool before you start dipping your (and lady) fingers into it.
Then you can add mascarpone to the yolk mixture and later, after it has a decent consistency, sloooooowly whisk in the whites so that it is very light.
After quickly dipping the savoiardi into the coffee, you can start covering the pan. Once they are everywhere, cover them with the cream. And if you like cocoa a lot, top it with the powder. And basically repeat the process until you are out of all ingedients.
Let it cool in the fridge for a couple of hours and you are ready to satisfy your tastebuds. Buon appetito! ;-)=
