Ingredients

• 8.8 oz (250g) mascarpone
• 1 ¼ cups (10.1 fl oz/300ml) full fat milk
• 2.8 oz (80g) sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
• 2 ½ tbsp (40ml) marsala
• 3 large egg yolks
• 3 savoiardi biscuits lady finger
• 1 stong brewed espresso

Instructions

1. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a large bowl until pale and thick. Put the mascarpone and milk in a saucepan, heat the milk mixture over a low medium heat until it comes to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the vanilla extract and let it sit for 1 minute.
2. Very gradually add the milk to the egg mixture whilst continuously whisking. Once it all fully incorporated transfer the custard liquid back into the saucepan on a low heat. Add the espresso powder and whisk until dissolved.
3. Stir the custard for 5-10 minutes until it has thickened enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from the heat, add the marsala, stir then set aside to cool.
4. Pour the ice cream into your ice cream machine.
5. Dip each side if the savoiardi biscuits into the espresso for a second and place on a chopping board. Cut into small cubes, set aside.
6. When the ice cream has thickened and almost ready (usually after around 10 minutes) add the savoiardi biscuits a little at a time. Once ready, transfer to a freezer proof tub and freeze until ready to serve.
