3. Step-by-Step Instructions
Preparing the Cream
- Whip the Cream:
- In a large bowl, pour 400 ml of cream and add 2 packets of cream stabilizer.
- Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks.
- Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, combine 500 grams of mascarpone cheese, 2 tablespoons of hazelnut spread, and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar.
- Beat the mixture until smooth and well combined.
- Combine the Mixtures:
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula. Be careful to maintain the airy texture of the cream.
Assembling the Dessert
- Prepare the Biscuits:
- Dip the ladyfinger biscuits in milk quickly to soften them without making them too soggy.
- Layer the Dessert:
- Place a layer of milk-dipped ladyfinger biscuits at the bottom of each glass.
- Spoon a layer of the mascarpone cream mixture over the biscuits and smooth it out with a spatula.
- Repeat Layers:
- Add another layer of milk-dipped ladyfinger biscuits followed by another layer of the mascarpone cream mixture.
4. Decorating and Serving
- Top with Hazelnut Spread:
- Melt the hazelnut spread slightly if necessary to make it easier to drizzle.
- Drizzle the melted hazelnut spread over the top layer of cream in each glass.
- Decorate:
- Sprinkle chopped hazelnuts around the edges of each glass.
- Place a Giotto candy in the center of each dessert glass for a beautiful finishing touch.
- Chill the Dessert:
- Allow the assembled desserts to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours before serving. This helps the flavors meld together and gives the dessert a firm, creamy texture.
5. Tips and Tricks
- Consistency: Ensure the whipped cream is stiff enough before folding it into the mascarpone mixture to maintain a firm texture.
- Layering: Be gentle when layering to avoid crushing the ladyfinger biscuits.
- Chilling Time: The longer you chill the dessert, the better the flavors will meld together. Overnight chilling works wonders.
- Variation: You can add a layer of fruit like strawberries or raspberries between the layers for an added burst of flavor.
