Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup sugar
6 eggs -- separated
1 pound mascarpone cheese
2 7 oz piece dried ladyfingers -- (about 24)
2 cups brewed espresso -- *see note
unsweetened ground cocoa -- to dust
1 small piece semisweet chocolate -- to shave



Ready, set, cook!



* lightly flavored with about 4 TB amaretto, marsala, or any favorite
liqueur 1. In a bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg yolks.
Gradually add the mascarpone and continue stirring until the mixture
becomes creamy. In another bowl, whip the egg whites to a meringue
consistency (stiff peaks). Carefully fold the meringue into the
mascarpone mixture. 2. Quickly and lightly dip enough ladyfingers or
biscuits into the brewed espresso to line the bottom of an 8-by-8-inch
pan or glass serving dish. Cover the ladyfingers or biscuits with one
half of the mascarpone mixture, followed by a thorough dusting of
cocoa and shaving of chocolate. Repeat the layering process. (If you
prefer a less moist dessert, you can divide the layers into thirds, or
dip your ladyfingers even faster....) 3. Once assembled, shake the pan
lightly to settle the ingredients. Chill at least two hours (overnight
is preferable) before serving. Cut into portions and serve.
