Ingreds:
6 eggs at room temp, seperated
pinch of salt
3 T caster sugar
2T vanilla sugar
1 ¼ cups marsala (can mix some frangellico with it)
½ cup strong expresso coffee, freshly brewed
1 cup thickened cream
300g marscarpone cheese
36 or so savoiardi biscuts (italian sponge biscuts)
150g lindt 70% dark chocolate, finely grated
1 – mix marscarpone with the vanilla sugar and half of the expresso until well combined and smooth. set aside.
2 – whicp the cream, until soft peaks form
3 – combine the remaining expresso and 250ml of the marsala together
4 – Zabagione - place the egg yolks and caster sugar inot a stainless steel or porcelain mixing bowl that will fit snugly inot the top of a 2L-3L saucepan. bring some water to the boil in the saucepan and then turn down to a simmer. pace the bowl on top of the saucepan and beat the yolks and sugar together over the heat until the colour changes to a creamy-ivory. to this add the remaining 50ml or so of the marsala and keep wisking the mixture until it thickens. set aside to cool.
in another clean bowl whisk the egg whites with the pinch of salt until the form stiff peaks. fold the egg whites gently into the cooled yolk mixture to complete.
5 – Construction
dip the savoiardi into the coffee-liquor mix and place them into a large (20cm across) dish in a single layer. if you wish to make individual deserts, put into wine glasses or simular.
sprinkle extra coffee-liquor ove rthem biscuts so that they are all generously splashed (but don't make them soggy); cover the biscuts first with some of the sarscarpone mix, followed by some zabaglinone and then some of the vanilla expresso cream. finally sprinkle an egen layer of the grated dark choclate mix over this.
now you need to layer like this until you run out of ingreds – you should get about 3 layers with recipie. so mentally divide your ingreds into thirds when you start building. fisih with a generous amount of garted dar choclate on top.
let the whole desert rest and set in the fridge for a lease 5 hours before serving.
