This recipes is the result of a lot of trial and error. I've been making this for the past 10 years. This time, I made it for my hubby's 40th birthday.

The strawberry compote is just a mix of strawberries and sugar simmered together. You could also make this the traditional way and sprinkle cocoa powder on top. I topped it with strawberry compote based on my hubby's request. Coating the biscuits with a generous amount of butter will make it crunchy. Recipe by Mon*chou-chou*

Steps

1

Combine the coffee syrup ingredients and once cooled, add the liquor. Set aside.
2

Crush the biscuits and mix with melted butter. Simmer strawberries, sugar, and lemon for the compote (not listed) or buy store-bought.
3

Whisk the mascarpone (bring to room temperature first) with half the sugar until smooth, drop in the egg yolks one by one, whisking with each addition.
4

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white and remaining sugar until stiff peaks form.
5

In another bowl, whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
6

These are the ladyfingers I used. You also see them lined around Charlotte russe cakes.
7

Let the ladyfingers soak up the coffee syrup, and line the cake pan with them.
8

Whisk together Steps 3, 4, 5 in order, and add the liquor for fragrance.
9

Top a dollop on Step 7, sprinkle on the Step 2 biscuit crumble, then another layer of cream on top.
