Ingredients

  • 250 grams marscapone, stir to soften
  • 2 eggs, separated

  • ¼ cup expresso
  • 20 lady finger cookies
  • 2 tablespoon powdered cocoa

Directions

Beat yokes and sugar. First slowly then fast until ribbon stage. Gently fold in marscapone. Blend well.

Use individual serving dishes or one larger glass dish: Place generous tablespoon of cream mixture in bottom of individual dishes. Dip lady fingers into expresso and shake off excess coffee. Place 2 lady fingers on top cream. Top with a layer of creme mixture. Spread to cover lady fingers, but do not smoother cookies. Add second and final layer of dipped lady fingers this time 3 across. Top with creme as before. Dust with generous amount of cocoa powder. Cover with plastic wrap. Place in refridgerator and chill for at least 2 hours, 3 hours is better.

Notes
A liquor or brandy would be a nice addition to the coffee. The dessert is very light and not very sweet.
