• 3.5 ounces of ricotta cheese
• 3.5 ounces of bitter chocolate

Directions

1. Prepare strong espresso coffee, mix a spoon of sugar in it. Bring it to room temperature and put it in the fridge to chill.
2. Beat the egg yolks till they become creamy. Beat in the sugar and then add the brandy.
3. In another bowl, mash the mascarpone cheese with a rubber spatula till its creamy.

7. Then distribute the cream and ricotta cheese mixture on top.
8. Repeat the step above with a second layer of ladyfingers, and top it with the creamy cheese.
9. Finally grate and sprinkle some bitter chocolate on top and sieve a thin layer of cocoa powder for the finishing touch.
