Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup strongly brewed coffee Cooled for dipping
  • 1 tablespoon rum Optional, for flavor
  • ¾ teaspoon almond extract Divided use (¼ teaspoon for coffee, ½ teaspoon for cream)
  • 7 ounces lady fingers Usually in the cookie aisle
  • 4 large eggs Separated into whites and yolks
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar Divided use
  • 16 ounces mascarpone Cold from the fridge
  • ⅓ cup pistachio paste Also called pistachio cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For flavor
  • ⅓ cup pistachios Very finely chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer With whisk attachment
  • 1 9x9-inch square pan For assembling the dessert
  • 1 wide shallow bowl For dipping the lady fingers
  • 1 Rubber Spatula For folding the egg whites

Method
 

  1. Stir the brewed coffee, ¼ teaspoon almond extract, and rum together in a wide, shallow bowl, then set aside.
  2. Separate the eggs, beat the whites while streaming in half the sugar until stiff peaks form, and transfer to another bowl.
  3. Beat the egg yolks with the remaining sugar until pale, then mix in the mascarpone, pistachio paste, vanilla, and almond extract.
    A metal whisk stirs a smooth, pale yellow egg and sugar mixture inside a glass bowl.
  4. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in two additions until completely homogenous and fluffy.
  5. Quickly dip the lady fingers into the coffee, arrange a single layer in a 9x9 pan, and cover with half the cream.
  6. Repeat with a second layer of dipped cookies and remaining cream, top with chopped pistachios, and chill for at least 4 hours.
    Hands arrange green cream-coated ladyfingers into an even layer inside a glass baking dish.

Notes

Dip the biscuits very quickly into the espresso; soaking them for more than a second will cause them to turn into mush.
