Preparation

Step 1

In a mixer with the whip attachment, whip yolks and sugar until thick and pale in colour. Add mascarpone and whip until well incorporated. Pour water into a small bowl then pour powdered gelatin over it. Do not stir. Allow gelatin to absorb all the water (about 15 minutes) then place the bowl on top of a small saucepan containing simmering water (creating a double boiler). Immediately turn off the heat and allow the gelatin to dissolve completely. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites to a soft peak, gradually add sugar, then slowly pour in dissolved gelatin. Whip to a stiff, glossy peak. Fold whites into mascarpone and yolk mixture then fold in whipped cream.

In a separate bowl, combine espresso,kahlua and amaretto. Soak 1 lady finger at a time in the mixture. In an 8X10 inch pan, arrange soaked lady fingers close together in neat rows until the bottom of the pan is completely covered. Pour 1/2 of the mousse over the lady fingers and smooth with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle 1/2 of the chocolate shavings over mousse. Create another layer and chill until set.
