    2 egg yolks
    quarter cup sugar
    half cup Marsala wine
    250 grams Mascarpone cheese
    1 cup real whipping cream

    Recipe



    Ingredient notes:
    Orange liquor or extra strong coffee may be used instead of the Marsala wine. Cream cheese may be used instead of Mascarpone cheese. Orange liquor or orange juice may be used instead of the brandy. Plain cookies or cake may be used instead of Ladyfingers.

    Make the filling by beating the egg yolks with the sugar until light. Beat in the Marsala. Cook gently in a double boiler or in a stainless steel or glass bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Cook gently, stirring constantly until thickened. Cool. Beat Mascarpone cheese until thick and
    smooth and then slowly beat in the cooled custard. Whip cream until light. Gently fold into the cheese mixture. Reserve. Combine the coffee and brandy. Reserve. Line an 8 inch baking tray or trifle bowl with the Ladyfingers. Do not worry if the Ladyfingers do not fit exactly. break up
    extras to fit into spaces. Drizzle with half of the coffee mixture. Spread half the filling over, then sprinkle with half the chocolate. Repeat the layers starting with the Ladyfingers, ending with the chocolate. Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight before serving. Can be frozen for
    up to 1 month.
