this is a fairly traditional style recipe, its more marsala and coffee flavored, and less sweet and whipped-creamlike than what you would usually see at a resturaunt
- 1 1/2 cups espresso
- 2 tsp sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup marsala
- 1 lb mascarpone (Room tmp)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- about 40 ladyfinger cookies
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
prepare the espresso and dissolve 2 tsp sugar in it. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Beat egg yolks in a double boiler till they get fluffy, beat in sugar, and marsala. transfer over a pan of boiling water, whisk until it thickens.
in a separate bowl, mash up mascarpone, fold the custard (zabaglione) made above into the mascarpone, mix very thoroughly.
Whip the heavy cream, fold whipped cream into the zabaglione/cheese mix. beat until smooth.
Dip lady fingers in coffee one at a time, place in a single layer on the bottom of a 12x8 pan. pour half the zabaglione over the cookies, add another layer, and then another layer of zabaglione. Dust with cocoa powder.
