Directions

  1. Prepare the coffee and let it cool; you can mix in the Marsala (2 cups of coffee for 1 cup of wine).
  2. Soak the cookies in coffee and arrange them in a dish. Drizzle with a little Marsala (and Amaretto) if you haven’t already added it to the coffee.
  3. Whisk the sugar and egg yolks together until the mixture becomes pale and frothy. Add a splash of amaretto if desired.
  4. Whip the egg whites in a separate bowl. ≈ 10 min
  5. Gently mix the mascarpone with the beaten egg yolks, then fold in the whites, being careful not to deflate the mixture. ≈ 4 min
  6. Pour over the cream over the cookies. ≈ 3 min
  7. Let it chill in the refrigerator for a few hours.
  8. Just before serving, sprinkle with cocoa powder using a sieve. ≈ 2 min
