Yield

Serves 10

Directions

  1. Whisk yolks, sugar, milk and 1 tablespoon of the liqueur in a medium size saucepan until well combined. Turn heat to medium. Stirring constantly (so eggs don't scramble) cook until thickened* (just before a simmer). Remove from heat and pour into a shallow dish and refrigerate.
  2. Place Almond Paste (grated using large hole side of a box grater) and espresso beans in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process until the texture of sand. Set aside.
  3. Whip cream until it holds soft peaks. Add confectioner's sugar and remaining tablespoon liqueur. Beat until cream holds stiff peaks. Refrigerate.
  4. Beat cooled yolk mixture into mascarpone until smooth.
  5. Pour espresso into a flat bottomed bowl or plate with lip. Dip lady fingers, one at a time, into espresso for a few seconds each side, so they are soaked but not soggy. Arrange half of lady fingers in bottom of a size appropriate dish, about 9 X 13 inches or a platter.
  6. Top lady fingers with one half mascarpone mixture, then one half whipped cream. Sprinkle whipped cream with one half of almond paste/espresso mixture. Repeat layers. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours or overnight. Dust top with cocoa powder if desired.
