Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Spatula
  • Fine-mesh sieve optional, for dusting cocoa powder

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz mascarpone cheese cold from the fridge
  • 3 cups heavy cream divided
  • 0.33 cup pistachio paste
  • 48-60 pieces ladyfinger cookies
  • 1 cup strong coffee or espresso
  • 0.66 cup sugar divided
  • 4 large eggs separated
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp almond extract
  • 0.33 cup finely chopped pistachios for topping

Instructions
 

  • Brew 1 cup of strong coffee or espresso and let it cool to room temperature.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks and 1/3 cup sugar until pale and creamy.
  • Add mascarpone cheese, pistachio paste, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the egg yolk mixture. Whisk until smooth.
  • In another bowl, whip 2 cups of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until combined.
  • In a clean bowl, whisk egg whites with the remaining 1/3 cup sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture.
  • Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat the layers with the remaining soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
  • Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, to set.
  • Before serving, sprinkle finely chopped pistachios over the top. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Customizations: Add a dusting of cocoa powder or a drizzle of melted chocolate for extra richness.
  • Storage: Keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serving Suggestion: Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or additional chopped pistachios for a festive touch.
