How to make it

  • Line the bottom of a 10" springform pan with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together egg yolk, custard powder, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, kahlua and milk in a double boiler over simmering water until thick. Put it in the fridge to cool.
  • Cream together mascarpone and remaining sugar with electric beaters until smooth.
  • Add heavy cream, and beat until it looks almost overbeaten (small curdles).
  • Add cold custard to cheese mixture, and fold in.
  • Place in fridge while the ladyfingers are prepared.
  • Trim the base of enough ladyfingers to allow them to stand upright around the edge of the 10" pan. Do not soak these in espresso.
  • Soak whole ladyfingers in the espresso for a few seconds, until they are about half wet and half dry. Fill the base of the pan.
  • Add less than 1/2 of the cheese mixture. It should seal against every single upright ladyfinger and cover the bottom evenly.
  • Soak remaining ladyfingers in coffee until about half-wet and make an even layer on top of the cheese mixture.
  • Add the remaining cheese mixture on top. Chill minimum 48 hours.

    Sounds great, I have a very similar recipe that uses amaretto instead of kahlua.
