Steps
1
Prepare a double boiler by bringing a few inches water to a simmer in a saucepan. Place a heat-safe bowl over the saucepan (ensuring it doesn't touch the water) and whisk the egg yolks with 1/4 cup sugar in the bowl. Whisk continuously for 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
2
In another bowl, using a hand mixer set to medium-high, whip the heavy cream with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar until the volume doubles. Gently fold in the mascarpone.
3
Gradually add the cooled egg mixture to the mascarpone mixture, stirring continuously. Once fully combined, continue mixing until medium peaks form.
4
Lightly dust a 9-inch square dish with cocoa powder.
5
Pour the espresso into a shallow dish. Working swiftly, dip each ladyfinger into the espresso, making sure not to let them soak too long. Line the dipped ladyfingers on the bottom of the prepared dish.
6
Spoon half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers and spread gently. Dust lightly with cocoa powder.
7
Repeat the dipping process with the remaining ladyfingers and layer with the remaining mascarpone mixture.
8
Finish with a dusting of cocoa powder and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings on top.
9
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
