Instructions

Make the Mascarpone Cream

  1. 1In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with sugar until pale and creamy. Add the mascarpone cheese and liqueur (if using), and beat until smooth. Do not overmix.
  2. 2In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture in two additions, until just combined and no streaks remain.

Assemble the Parfaits

  1. 1Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso (do not soak). Break them if necessary to fit the bottom of your serving glasses.
  2. 2Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of each glass.
  3. 3Spoon a layer of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers.
  4. 4Repeat the layers: ladyfingers, then mascarpone cream, until the glasses are filled. Finish with a layer of cream.
  5. 5Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the parfaits to set.
  6. 6Just before serving, dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.

Tips

  • Ensure your mascarpone is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother cream.
  • Serve chilled in elegant glasses for a sophisticated presentation of this classic Italian dessert.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the liqueur. The espresso adds sufficient depth of flavor.
