Ingredients
6 large egg yolks
1 cup sugar (201 gm)
1 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese - room temperature (284 gm)
1 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream (420 ml)
2 -12 oz packages Savoiardi Lady fingers crunchy not soft variety
1 cup cold espresso or strong coffee (240 ml)
1/2 cup coffee flavored Liquor optional (120 ml)
1 tbsp cocoa for dusting (30 gm)

Instructions
1. Combine egg yolks and sugar in the top of a double boiler, over
boiling water. Reduce heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes,
stirring constantly.
2. This is your sabayon, remove from the heat and whip yolks until
thick and lemon colored. (whipping the eggs off the heat should
allow them to cool off sufficiently if you're going to make a larger
batch make sure to give the sabayon time to cool down before
adding the rest of the ingredients.)
3. Add Mascarpone to whipped yolks, beat until combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whip cream to stiff peaks.
5. Gently fold the whipped cream in the mascarpone sabayon mixture
and set aside.
6. Mix the cold espresso with the coffee liquor and dip the ladyfingers
into the mixture just long enough to get them wet, do not soak
them!
7. Arrange the ladyfingers in the bottom of an 8 inch square baking
dish (or 6×9)
8. Spoon half the mascarpone cream filling over the ladyfingers.
9. Repeat process with another layer.
10. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
11. Dust with cocoa before serving
