Desiree McCrorey

16 oz Mascarpone cheese
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup Marsala wine
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups whipping cream, whipped
1 cup strong espresso, chilled
2 Tablespoons Tuca liqueur
3 packages (36) ladyfingers
1 cup Heath Bits (candybar)
Beat Mascarpone and sugar until light. Blend in wine and vanilla. Fold in whipped cream. In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine coffee and liqueur. To assemble, split each ladyfinger in half, dip in coffee, liqueur mixture and layer bottom of glass (9 x 13) dish. Top with half the cheese mixture and half the heath bits; repeat layers ending with Heath Bits. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving; overnight is better. Serves 8 generously.

You can substitute cream cheese for the Mascarpone (it isn't as good though); and you can use Amaretto or Kaluha in place of the Tuca. Some of my friends substitute brandy....that's a little strong for my taste, but feel free to experiment!
