Directions:
Combine the coffee and
amaretto liqueur in a bowl or shallow baking dish and set aside.
Bring a small saucepan
with 2 inches of water to a boil over high heat. In a small heatproof bowl that
will fit on top of the saucepan, or in a double boiler, combine the egg yolks
and 1/2 cup of the whipping cream. Place over the hot water and whisk
continuously until the mixture is 160 degrees F and coats the back of a spoon,
5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk for 3 to 4 minutes to cool. Set
aside to cool completely, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
In a stand mixer
fitted with a whisk attachment, add the remaining whipping cream, prepared yolk
mixture, and sugar and beat until soft peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the
mascarpone and combine well.
