Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar divided
  • 2 cups 454 grams mascarpone cheese
  • 1/3 cup 90 grams pistachio butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 cup 120 ml strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons amaretto optional
  • 24 200 grams ladyfinger cookies
  • 1/3 cup 40 grams chopped toasted pistachios

Instructions

  • Prepare Pistachio Butter: Use store-bought or homemade pistachio butter.
  • Beat Egg Whites: In a bowl, beat egg whites with 1/4 cup sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • Whip Egg Yolks: In another bowl, whip egg yolks with remaining 1/4 cup sugar until pale and fluffy.
  • Mix Cream: Add mascarpone, pistachio butter, vanilla, and almond extracts to yolk mixture. Beat until smooth.
  • Fold: Gently fold egg whites into mascarpone mixture to keep it light and airy.
  • Dip Ladyfingers: Quickly dip ladyfingers in cooled coffee (with amaretto if using).
  • Layer: Arrange half of the ladyfingers in a 9x9-inch pan. Spread half of the cream mixture on top. Repeat layers.
  • Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Serve: Before serving, sprinkle with chopped toasted pistachios. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Pistachio Butter Tip: Use pure pistachio butter, not sweetened pistachio cream, for a richer flavor.
  • Egg Alternative: If avoiding raw eggs, substitute with whipped cream.
  • Make Ahead: Best when chilled overnight—perfect for prepping ahead.
  • Storage: Keeps in the fridge for 2-3 days.
  • Flavor Boost: Toast pistachios at 350°F for 8-10 minutes before chopping.
