Servings 8

Ingredients

  

Dipping Liquid

• 1 cup hot brewed strong espresso or coffee
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 3 tbsp sweet Marsala or dark rum or brandy
• 20-22 savoiardi (Italian ladyfingers) about 2 sleeves

Filling

• ¾ cup 35% cream
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 4 eggs
• ⅔ cup granulated sugar
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• 1½ cups cold mascarpone straight from fridge
• 2 tbsp sweet Marsala or dark rum or brandy see note
• 1½ tsp vanilla
• 2 tbsp cocoa divided

Instructions

 

Dipping Liquid

• In pie plate or shallow bowl, stir together espresso, and sugar, until sugar is dissolved. Stir in Marsala; let cool completely. Set aside.

Filling

• In bowl of stand mixer, fitted with whisk attachment, beat cream with 1 tbsp sugar on medium speed until medium peaks form, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate. Wipe bottom of mixing bowl.
• Fill a medium pot to fit mixing bowl with 1-inch (2.5 cm) water and simmer. In mixing bowl, combine eggs, ⅔ cup sugar and salt and cook, whisking every so often, scraping the bottom until hot and aerated, (160°F), about 6 minutes.
• Beat on high speed fitted with whisk attachment until foamy, tripled in size and mixture mounds easily, about 8 minutes.
• Reduce speed to medium; add cold mascarpone, ¼ cup at a time without waiting between additions. Scrape bottom and side of bowl; beat on medium-high until mixture is combined and thick, 10 to 15 seconds (don’t worry if you see any mascarpone bits). Add reserved whipped cream mixture and beat until just combined.

Assembly

• Quickly dip ladyfingers into expresso mixture, flipping to coat; arrange on bottom of 2 L casserole dish. Dust with some of the cocoa; carefully top with half of the mascarpone mixture, smoothing top. Repeat with remaining dipped ladyfingers, some of the cocoa and the remaining mascarpone mixture, smoothing top.
• Poke toothpicks all over top; cover with plastic wrap without puncturing. Refrigerate 6 hours or overnight for best results.
• To serve, smooth the top then dust with the remaining cocoa. Divide onto plates using large serving spoon. Dust with more cocoa if desired.

Notes

Marsala is a Sicilian fortified wine, famously paired with espresso for the classic tiramisu or zabaglione, be sure to use the sweet version over the dry.

Vanilla-Spiced Poached Pears

Shapely and sophisticated, poached pears are always impressive. Poaching involves submerging and cooking food in liquid over low heat for perfectly even cooking–our pears cook gently, absorbing all the delicious warm spices.
