It’s your turn to cook!

This delicious italian desert requires no oven and very little preparation.
Serves 8-12

Ingredients:

• 1 Lbs Mascarpone soft cheese
• 6 eggs yolks
• 2 Cups strong expresso coffee
• 3 Tablespoons of sugar
• 2 packages of lady fingers
• 2 Tablespoons cocao powder

Brew two cups of Expresso coffee and let it cool down. Make it as strong as you can. It will make for a better flavour.

In one bowl, mix egg yolks and sugar, beat until the mixture gets lighter in color.

In another bowl, put the mascarpone and fold in the egg mixture.

In a glass bowl or oven casserole, start soaking the lady fingers and laying them in the bottom of the dish. Add a layer of Mascarpone mixture, then another layer of lady fingers, so on and so forth. There is no conventional way of building the cake, you can get creative as long as you finish off with a last layer of mascarpone mixture.

Sprinkle Cocao Powder on top of cake for decoration and taste. You can also sprinkle cacao powder in between the layers as you build the cake if you really like chocolate.

You can add coffee beans or grains as well for a final decorative touch.

Cover and put in fridge for at least an hour before serving. Note that the flavour will get better the longer it sits in the fridge so the ideal amount of chill time is 6 hours. Enjoy
