The Recipe
Prepare the Coffee
Prepare enough coffee to soak each biscuit. Let it cool to room temperature before using.
Whip the Cream
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and a splash of the alcohol of your choosing (cognac is my secret ingredient) until you get a light, mousse-like cream.
Fold the Mascarpone
Gradually fold in the mascarpone and continue beating until smooth and homogeneous.
The First Layer
Dip each biscuit in the coffee (a single dip is enough) and arrange them to cover the bottom of your dish.
Spread the Cream
Cover the biscuits with a first layer of mascarpone cream.
