Instead of buying birthday gifts for my family members, I make them a dish and dessert of their choice. My oldest daughter requested this for her dessert. Since this dessert is very rich, a small piece is very satisfying. I would definitely half the recipe if I make it again, even though it was amazingly good.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups strongly brewed coffee
  • 3 ounces amaretto liqueur
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1+3/4 cup heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 cups mascarpone cheese
  • 36 to 42 ladyfinger biscuits

Bring to a boil over high heat.

In the top of the double boiler, combine the egg yolks and 1/2 cup of the whipping cream.

Remove from the heat and whisk for 3 to 4 minutes to cool.

Set aside to cool completely, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, add the remaining whipping cream, prepared yolk mixture, and sugar.
