Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large egg yolks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

- 2 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur
- 24–30 ladyfingers

Instructions
- In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar over a pot of simmering water until thick and creamy.
- Remove the bowl from heat and let the mixture cool.
- Stir in the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until smooth.
