Make the cream
Bring the water and sugar to 250°F (121°C) to obtain a hot syrup.
Meanwhile, whip the egg yolks with a mixer and pour the syrup in a thin stream, continuing to whisk until you get a pale, frothy cream.
Add the mascarpone and whisk again.
Also fold in the whipping cream and whisk until you obtain a soft, stable cream.
Assemble the glasses
Quickly dip the Pavesini in the sweetened coffee
and arrange them on the bottom of the glass.
Add a layer of cream,
sprinkle with unsweetened cocoa powder,
Add another layer of coffee-dipped Pavesini, more cream and cocoa.
Cut sponge cake or yogurt plumcake into small cubes.
Distribute them over the surface to create the classic mimosa effect.
👉 If you like, you can also alternate the layers as you prefer, playing with Pavesini and cubes soaked in coffee: it’s always beautifully effective!

Preparing them in advance is even better: resting makes them firmer and more flavorful.
Freezing is not recommended as the cream may lose its creaminess.
