Servings: 1 8 x 8 pan

Ingredients

  • For ladyfinger cake:
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 large eggs separated
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • powdered sugar - for dusting
  • For filling:
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 6 ounces whipped cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For hot chocolate:
  • 8 ounces hot water
  • 6 tablespoons favorite hot chocolate mix
  • For topping:
  • Cocoa powder for topping

Instructions

  • Instructions for ladyfingers:
  • Mix together hot chocolate and set aside until room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • Sift together the flour and cornstarch.
  • Separate your eggs and place egg whites in a bowl.
  • Begin beating your egg whites until soft peaks then gradually add sugar and beat until firm and glossy peaks form.
  • Whisk egg yokes in a bowl then add 1/4 of the whipped egg mixture into the yoke mixture and blend well.
  • Add the remaining egg white mixture and gently fold together, you don't want to deflate your egg whites too much.
  • Add flour mixture and gently fold until batter is folded together. doesn't have to be perfect.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray the parchment paper with cooking spray.
  • Use a piping bag or zip-lock bag, pipe the batter in straight lines next to each other in the dimensions of the pan you are using. I would pipe 2 - 8 x 8 squares on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. You can slice your lady finger cake in half if desired but I find it easier to pipe two thinner squares rather then slice it horizontally after baking.
  • Dust the top of your ladyfinger cakes with powdered sugar and allow batter to rest on the counter for 15 minutes before baking.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until tops are a pale-ish golden color.
  • Remove from oven allow to cool completely.
  • To make filling:
  • Add whipping cream and powdered sugar to a mixing bowl with a whisk attachment; whip mixture until it forms medium peaks.
  • Add whipped cream cheese and continue whisking together until a fluffy and smooth mixture forms.
  • Assembly:
  • In an 8 x 8 or desired size pan, add your first layer of ladyfinger cake to the bottom.
    Spoon on about 1/2 of the hot chocolate mixture to the ladyfinger cake.
    Spoon or pipe in 1/2 of the whipped filling.
    Lay down your second layer of lady finger cake and add other 1/2 of the hot chocolate mixture and pipe on the remaining filling mixture.
    Dust top with cocoa powder.
    Refrigerate and served whenever ready to serve.
