Equipment

  • Digital kitchen scale
  • Stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or hand mixer and a large mixing bowl
  • 8" by 8" (20cm by 20cm) brownie pan
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • 20-26 ladyfingers store-bought or homemade (I used 26 homemade ladyfingers)

Coffee syrup

  • 200 ml strong coffee
  • 100 g white granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon dark rum optional
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Cream

  • 250 g mascarpone cheese cold
  • 360 g heavy whipping cream cold
  • 75 g powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dark rum optional
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the hot coffee and sugar. Mix until the sugar has dissolved, then add the rum (if using) and vanilla extract. Cool down before using.
  • In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment (or you can use a hand mixer and a large bowl), beat the heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and rum (optional) until stiff peaks form. Be careful to not overwhip the cream!
  • Dip each ladyfinger in the cooled coffee syrup for a few seconds, making sure they are completely coated but not soggy.
  • Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of an 8x8 inch dish (20x20 cm).
  • Spread half of the cream mixture over the ladyfingers.
  • Repeat the process with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining cream mixture.
  • Cover the top of the dish with plastic wrap or a large plate and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Just before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder. Cut into 9 squares and serve.

Notes

Store it covered with plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 4 days. Dust with cocoa powder right before serving.
Do not freeze.
