makes one 9"x 6" Glass Tray
24 pcs Italian ladyfinger
biscuits
2 tbsp cocoa powder
(A) Cream mixture
250 grams mascarpone cheese
1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
2 tbsp caster sugar (50g)
3 tbsp kahlua or Baileys (may be
omitted if you'd like)
2 tbsp thickened cream (250ml) **Whipped till soft peaks**
(B) Coffee solution for dipping
ladyfingers biscuits
3 tbsp instant coffee mix in
150ml hot water
3 tbsp of coffee liquor such as
kahlua/ Baileys
OR
3 tbsp cocoa powder in 150ml hot water
Method
Have the coffee granules ready in a
bowl shallow enough for dipping the ladies' fingers.
Add in the hot water (from B) as well
as liquor and mix well. Set aside.
Add all the ingredients in A together
in a bowl.
Mix well till well combined.
Dip the ladies' fingers into the
coffee mixture.
Coat the other side.
As quickly as you can, remove
them from the bowl. (This is especially so for brands of ladies' fingers that
soften really quickly)
Line the ladies' fingers in the dish.
Layer with 1/2 of the cheese
mixture.
Spread well.
Sift a layer of cocoa powder on top
of the cheese.
Repeat steps for second layer. You
may pour the excess coffee mixture (if any) from the sides of the bowl to allow
the ladies' fingers to soak them up.
Dust with another layer of cocoa
powder and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight before serving chilled!
