INSTRUCTIONS
This recipe comes from Top Secret Recipes. It's easy to make and
tastes great. It only uses egg yolks and they are simmered over
hot water for 10 minutes.
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup whole milk
1 cup sugar
3 cups mascarpone cheese
8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
20 to 24 lady fingers (I used 2 packages.)
1/4 cup cold espresso
1/4 cup Kahlua coffee liqueur
2 tsp. cocoa powder
1. Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water and bring it to a boil over med/high heat, then reduce heat so that the water is simmering. Whisk egg yolks, milk, and sugar together in a medium metal bowl, then place the bowl on top of the saucepan. Stir the mixture often for 10 minutes. After the sugar dissolves the mixture should begin to thicken and turn light yellow. Remove it from the heat to cool.
2. Use an electric mixer to combine mascarpone, cream cheese, and vanilla in a large bowl. Mix until mostly creamy but with a few small chunks remaining.
3. Add egg yolk mixture to the cheese mixture and mix until well combined. (This mixture does firm up after refrigeration.)
4. Combine espresso and Kahlua in a small bowl. Pour the mixture onto a dinner plate. One-by-one touch the bottom of each lady finger in the espresso. The top half of each lady finger should be dry. Arrange the soaked lady fingers side-by-side on the bottom of an 8x8 inch serving dish or baking pan.
5. Spoon half the cheese mixture over the lady fingers, then add another layer of soaked lady fingers on top of the cheese mixture.
6. Spoon the remaining cheese mixture over the second layer of lady fingers and spread evenly.
7. Lightly dust with the cocoa powder.
8. Cover and chill for several hours.
