Minimum ingredients, minimum preparation time, maximum impact. Soaking the ladyfingers in coffee, after a few minutes they become soft and yielding, creating the clever appearance of this impressive treat.
Ingredients:
- 23 ladyfingers
- 2 cups of chilled coffee (2 heaping teaspoons of instant coffee + 2 cups of water)
- 2 tablespoons of rum or preferred liqueur
For the cream:
- 250 grams of mascarpone cheese
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) of powdered sugar
- 2 cups (500 ml) of whipped cream
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions:
- Lay a cling film on a work surface. Mix the coffee and rum. Dip 10 ladyfingers into the mixture and place them side by side, closely packed, on the width of the cling film. Dip another 10 ladyfingers and create another row in the same manner.
- Prepare the cream: Mix the mascarpone cheese with vanilla extract and half of the powdered sugar until it softens.
- Whip the cream with the remaining powdered sugar until stable peaks form. Add the mascarpone mixture and mix well.
- Spread the cream over the ladyfingers, leaving about a cup of the cream aside.
- Dip three ladyfingers in coffee for filling and place them in the center of the cream, lengthwise. Cover them with half of the remaining cream.
- Using the cling film, lift the sides of the ladyfingers and roll them into a log. Secure and wrap with the cling film.
- Place in the refrigerator to set for about 4 hours (or 1 hour in the freezer).
- Remove from the refrigerator, remove the cling film, decorate the top with the remaining cream, and sprinkle with cocoa powder.
