Time 16m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

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

Steps:

  • 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.
