- 150 ml strong black coffee
- 75 ml Tia Maria Liqueur
- 36 savoiardi biscuits ladyfinger biscuits
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
Instructions
- In a medium bowl whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and thick, till the whisk leaves a train in the eggs when lifted.
- Mix the marsala and mascarpone together then fold it into the egg and sugar mixture.
- Using a small bowl whip the cream to soft peaks and in another bowl whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks.
- Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, then fold in the egg whites making sure to get as much air as possible.
- Line a deep square cake tin with a thick piece of baking paper leaving the ends overhanging.
