5 Egg Yolks

1 pound Marscapone
1 recipe Zabaglione
2 cups Expresso or Very Strong Coffee
1/2 cup Brandy or Marsala
1 tablespoon Vanilla
2 package Savoilardi biscuits
3 tablespoon Cocoa Powder

Steps:

Blend egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow in color. In bottom part of a double boiler, bring water to a boil. Place egg mixture over water and reduce heat to medium. Add Marsala gradually whipping continuously. Scrape bottom and sides of pan occasionally and cook for 6-10 minutes. Transfer to bowl, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Whip cream with 2 Tbsp. sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in Mascarpone and Zabaglione and mix until well blended. Cove and refrigerate 1 hour. In a separate bowl, mix espresso, 2 Tbsp., sugar, Brandy and vanilla. Arrange cookies on the bottom of a 9" by 13" (approximately) pan. Carefully spoon one tablespoon coffee mixture over each cookie until soaked but not falling apart (You can also dip each one in the mixture quickly.). Arrange them in the bottom of the pan. Cover with 1/3 of the cheese mixture and sprinkle cocoa powder on top. Repeat two more time. Cover and refrigerate 5 hours or overnight. Garnish (by sprinkling cocoa powder on top or by using chocolate shavings) and serve. Makes about 12 servings.
