Ingredients
5 egg yolks, preferably organic
1/3 cup (75 mL) organic cane sugar
Pinch of saffron threads
1 lb (500 g) mascarpone
1 to 2 cups (250 to 500 mL) cold brewed espresso
20 Italian ladyfinger cookies (preferably Pavesini or Savoiardi)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks and sugar. Whisk until the sugar dissolves and the yolks turn a creamy color. Sprinkle in the saffron and mix gently.
In another bowl, whisk the mascarpone until loose and creamy. Fold the mascarpone into the egg and sugar mixture. Set aside.
Fill a separate bowl with the espresso. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the bowl, ensuring they absorb some coffee but remain firm.
Line the bottom of individual glasses with the dipped ladyfingers. Top with a generous spoonful of the mascarpone mixture. Repeat layers if desired.
Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
