Mascarpone

The real one. No gelatin, no shortcuts. Zabaglione-based mascarpone cream and good espresso. Makes a 9x13 pan that serves 12.

Swapped the espresso for ceremonial matcha and added a pinch of salt to the cream. Cleaner, greener, completely addictive.

Cashew cream + coconut cream replaces mascarpone. Aquafaba meringue for the lift. Actually works. I was skeptical. Now I'm a convert.

Lemon curd folded into the mascarpone cream, ladyfingers dipped in limoncello syrup. Lighter and brighter than the original.
