WHAT YOU NEED:
- 4 eggs
- 400 g mascarpone
- 2 teaspoon of rhum or brandy (I'd rather use rhum)
- 300 g savoiardi biscuits
- 100 g sugar (the smaller the better)
- coffee (already done)
- unsweetened cocoa powder (just for the top)
HOW TO:
- separate the egg white from the yolk (I use this funny tool, but it's very useful).
- mix the yolks with the sugar (if you use the electric whisk it's easier).
- add the mascarpone and mix it with a wooden spoon or a palette knife (tip: in our kitchen we have a wooden spoon just for sweets, not to mix the flavours). After using the wooden spoon, you can use the whisk to blend it in better.
- add the rhum (or brandy).
- in another mixing bowl (better if it's a glass one) beat half of the egg whites till they will stuck on the bowl even if you turn it upside down.
- add the egg whits to the cream and mix gently with a wooden spoon od a palette knife, from the bottom to the top. DON'T USE A WHISK, you will ruin the beaten egg whites.
- put the cold coffee in a soup plate with a little bit of sugar (not to much!)and a tablespoon of water (it depends on how strong you want the coffee flavour); run the savoiardi in the coffee. You have to be very fast while doing this, otherwise they will be too wet.
- after the coffee, put the savoiardi in a casserole and cover the whole bottom with the biscuits.
- add a layer of cream, then repeat the process with the savoiardi and cream again.
- now that you have to layers, you can put your casserole in the fridge for at least two hours before serving it.
- at the moment of serving it, just sift the cocoa powder on the top.
