Serves:: 10

ingredients

6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, ground fine
6 ounces dark espresso, cooled
¹⁄₂ cup brandy or 1 cup brandy, and no marsala
¹⁄₂ cup marsala
36 ladyfingers (DRY ITALIAN "OR" SAVOY BISCUITS)
7 eggs, yolks and whites separated
3 tablespoons sugar
1 ¹⁄₄ lbs mascarpone

directions

Mix the coffee with the half of the brandy and half of the marsala.
place half the ladyfingers tightly together on the bottom of a shallow 3- to 4-quart glass serving dish and splash them with half the coffee mixture so they are soaked (but do not leave any unabsorbed liquid in the dish).
in a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and the remaining brandy and marsala until the eggs are light and foamy.
Add the mascarpone and continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth.
in another bowl, whip the egg whites to firm peaks and fold them into the mascarpone cream.
spread half this mixture over the ladyfingers, and then, using half the ground chocolate, cover the cream mixture with an even layer.
sprinkle the remaining ladyfingers with the rest of the coffee mixture and layer them in the dish.
then, cover them with the remaining mascarpone cream, and then with the remaining chocolate.
refrigerate for at least 5 hours.

(READ MORE ABOUT ME AND MORE RECIPES AT vanessafrida.livejournal.com) Thanks for clicking on my name and finding out more about myself. I stumbled upon 'zaar by chance, and I have been hooked ever since. It is just so much easier surfing online for a recipe then flipping through a zillion cookbooks. I am a big fan of healthy meal, and i love to use heaps of garlic in my food. Guess it is the asian blood in me. :) And I am a real sweet tooth, and I'm constantly on a lookout for cake and biscuit recipes. Have a look at the recipes i have posted, and tell me what you think. Thanks!
