Servings: 5
Equipment
- hand mixer
Ingredients
- 8 ounces mascarpone, room temperature
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream, divided
- ⅓ heaping cup powdered sugar, divided
- ¾ cup strong brewed coffee
- kalua, divided
- lady fingers
Instructions
- Brew a strong cup of coffee. Allow to cool while mixing together other ingredients.
- In a medium sized bowl add softened mascarpone, ¼ cup powdered sugar and ¼ cup heavy cream. Beat on low for 60 seconds with a hand mixer until the mixture is smooth.
- In a large bowl mix together the remaining 1 ¼ cup of heavy cream, remaining 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons of Kahlua. Beat with hand mixer for 2-3 minutes on medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the mascarpone with a spatula.
- Break lady finger cookies in half. One at a time dip each half into coffee for about 5 seconds to wet front and back of the cookie. Quickly add the cookie to the bottom of the serving glass. Depending on the size of your cup you may be able to put two cookie halves side by side. It is okay if they over lap or if you need to gently press in the corners of the cup. The cookies soften from the coffee making this easier.
- Next add a layer of mascarpone filling. The easiest way is by piping it in with a pastry bag, but you can also spoon it in.
- Repeat with another layer of soaked lady fingers, and mascarpone.
- Spread a small layer of whipped cream on top, smoothing with a spatula. Sprinkle the top with cocoa powder and decorate with a half of a lady finger cookie pressed in the top if desired.
Notes
The servings will vary on the size of the cups that you use for the dessert. The cups that I used held about 6 ounces of liquid.
