Description

Ingredients

• Cookie Layer
• 7 oz package Lady Finger cookies
• 1 cup strong brewed coffee *preferably using espresso
• ½ cup amaretto liqueur
• For the Custard Layer
• 1½ cups whole milk
• 4 lg egg yolks
• ⅓ cup sugar
• 2 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot
• ⅛ tsp salt
• ½ tbsp butter
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 14-16 oz Mascarpone cheese
• For the Whipped Cream Layer
• 16 oz heavy whipping cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp sugar
• For the Garnish
• cocoa powder for dusting
• 2-3 oz chocolate shavings

Directions

• Prepare custard first by heating milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat to almost boiling (do not boil). Meanwhile whisk together egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium stainless steel or glass bowl. Slowly stream in ½ of hot milk to yolk mixture while whisking consistently. Add remaining hot milk, continue whisking. Transfer back to saucepan. Cook over medium low heat, whisking constantly until mixture thickens-about 5-7 mins. Transfer to a clean bowl and stir in butter and vanilla. Cover with wax paper and chill for an hour.
• Make coffee and let cool to room temperature.
• For the whipped cream layer combine whipping cream, sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Beat until stiff peaks form- about 1 min. Transfer to a pastry bag & refrigerate. See tips in post above for pastry bag replacement.
• Once the custard layer is chilled, whip together with Mascarpone cheese and place into pastry bag.
• Cut lady fingers into chunks- about 8 chunks per cookie. Set aside. Mix together room temperature coffee and amaretto.
• Line up wine glasses and place desired amount of lady fingers in each glass as the bottom layer. Spoon 1-3 tbsp of coffee/liquor mixture over cookie chunks in each of the glasses until well saturated. Squeeze in a layer of custard and then a layer of whipped cream. Repeat with cookie, custard, whipped cream. Garnish with shaved chocolate or dust with cocoa powder. Refrigerate until served.
