Ingredients

  • 2 cups strong black coffee from caffeteria/moka coffee pot
  • 1/2 cup marsala
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 1/3 cup caster sugar
  • 250g mascarpone
  • 300ml thickened cream, lightly whipped
  • 1 large packet of sponge fingers (savoiardi)
  • cocoa, for dusting

Method

  • Pour coffee and marsala into a shallow casserole dish. Set aside.
  • Beat egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl with electric beaters until pale and thick.
  • Add the mascarpone and whipped cream, mixing gently until just combined.
  • Beat egg whites in a medium bowl with electric beaters until soft peaks form.
  • Using a large metal spoon, gently fold eggwhites into the mascarpone mixture.
  • Dip enough biscuits into the coffee mixture to cover the base of a 19cm square ceramic dish.
  • Cover the biscuits with one-third of the mascarpone mixture. Repeat layers 2 times, ending with the cream.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Dust generously with cocoa and serve.
  • Variation: Marsala can be replaced with orange juice if preferred.
