Ingredients
- 1 pint Heavy cream
- 1 pint Grape juice
- 12 pieces Ladyfingers (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 3 large Egg yolks (From the Lady Fingers recipe)
- 1/4 pound Powdered sugar (From the Lady Fingers recipe)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (From the Lady Fingers recipe, quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (From the Lady Fingers recipe, quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1 teaspoon Grated lemon zest (From the Lady Fingers recipe, quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 3 large Egg whites (From the Lady Fingers recipe)
- 1/8 teaspoon Salt (From the Lady Fingers recipe)
- 1/2 cup All-purpose flour (From the Lady Fingers recipe)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (From the Lady Fingers recipe, quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, stir together the heavy cream and grape juice. Whip the mixture until it forms a frothy consistency. If needed, drain any excess liquid.
- 2Pour the whipped cream mixture into individual cups or serving glasses. Place the cups on ice and refrigerate for at least several hours, or until well chilled.
- 3In a bowl, beat the egg yolks until light and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, continuing to beat until well combined. Stir in vanilla extract, lemon juice, and grated lemon zest. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the flour into the yolk mixture, then gently fold in the beaten egg whites. Using a pastry tube, pipe the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming finger-shaped cookies about 1/2 inch wide and 4 inches long. Alternatively, drop the mixture onto oblong molds. Sift powdered sugar over the ladyfingers. Bake in a moderate oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Do not let them brown. Remove immediately from the pan. Brush the flat surface of one ladyfinger with egg white and press the underside of a second ladyfinger upon the first to create a sandwich.
