Preparation
Baking Directions:
Start by first making the mascarpone cream.
Mix egg yolks with sugar in a bowl for 4 minutes at high speed.
Add heavy cream and mix for 3 minutes at medium speed.
Incorporate mascarpone cheese and mix with a whisk very gently until the cream becomes smooth.
In a large bowl, mix the espresso coffee with the coffee liqueur.
Soak each lady finger for a few seconds in the coffee mixture.
Then place each one in a 8 x 6-inch rectangular glass terrine, one next to the other, until you cover the bottom of it.
Cover with the mascarpone cream mixture and repeat this procedure (two layers total) ending with a layer of cream.
Cover and cool in refrigerator for 4 hours.
Sprinkle with cocoa powder and serve.
