Let me just tell you that this has been my favorite challenge so far!
I really couldn't believe that making mascarpone could be so simple and had my doubts it would firm up but it totally did. This is the Kahlua whipped cream before dusting it heavily with cocoa powder.
On one hand it's such a simple classic dish and on the other it is so complex. I really enjoyed making it because it is one of my favorite desserts and it was quite challenging as well. I wouldn't say it's hard to make it from scratch but definitely requires some planning.
I made mine the classic way topped with a Kahlua whipped cream and a double layer of dusted cocoa.
