Spread cake pieces evenly in a 9-inch glass baking dish

cream at high speed with a mixer until they are
thoroughly combined, at least 5-minutes, then set aside

In a separate mixing bowl, beat eggs until fluffy,
approximately 6 - 8 minutes. Meanwhile, in a sauce pan
set for high heat combine 2/3 cup sugar and 1/4 cup
water and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Cook
until the sugar thoroughly dissolves or until it reaches
250 degrees (F) on a candy thermometer. Very gradually
mix the boiling sugar syrup into the beaten eggs.
Continue beating until slightly cooled, at least
3-minutes, then set aside.

In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of water with
gelatin and let stand for about 5-minutes. In a small
saucepan over high heat, combing 1/2 cup water with
remaining 1/4 cup sugar and bring to a boil. Cook until
sugar dissolves, aproximately 3 - 4 minutes. Remove
from heat and stir in liqueur, vanilla and gleatin until
dissolved.

Fold 3/4 cup of the liqueur mixture into the egg
mixture, then gently fold in cheese mixture to combine.
Drizzle the remaining liqueur over the cake cubes.
Spatula the cheese mixture evenly over the top of the
cake cubes. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1-hour.

chocolate shavings, if desired. Serves 5
