Ingredients

  • 2 cups 35% whipping cream, chilled
  • ½ cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 475 g mascarpone cheese
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 3/4 cups brewed espresso

  • 2 tbsp dark brown sugar
  • 40 thin ladyfingers (about 375 g)

Ingredients for Toppings (Optional)

  • Thinly sliced banana
  • Cocoa Powder
  • White Chocolate shavings

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine whipping cream and sugar. Whip until stiff peaks. In another bowl, whip mascarpone, bananas and salt until fluffy, about 1 minutes. Gently fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture just until combined.
  2. In bowl, combine espresso, rum and sugar; mix to dissolve. Dip each ladyfinger quickly into espresso mixture (do not let them sit in it) and place into a single layer in a 9x13 inch dish. Top with half of cream mixture. Repeat with remaining ladyfingers and cream mixture. Top with sliced bananas, shaved white chocolate and cocoa powder. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
