Tiramisu -- Cheese and Spongecake Dessert

• 5 cups espresso coffee, strong and cold
• 1 pkg. savoiardi (lady fingers)
• 5 egg yolks
• 10 tbsp. sugar
• 1 lb. mascarpone cheese
• 2 tbsp. Marsala wine
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 3 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder

1. This dessert really looks great in an old fashioned footed bowl, or English Trifle Bowl.
2. If you dont have access to either, use a 12x9x2-inch oval bowl.
3. Pour the cold coffee into a large pie plate and dip enough of the lady fingers into the coffee, quickly, to cover the bottom of the dish.
4. If you are using a Trifle bowl, enough to cover the sides of the bowl.
5. Stand them upright around the inside of the bowl.
6. Work quickly.
7. Dont let the savoiardi linger too long in the coffee and get soggy and break.
8. Dip them in quickly and place them just as quick.
9. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until frothy; add the mascarpone and Marsala and blend until smooth.
10. In another bowl, whisk the cream until stiff and then fold into the mascarpone mixture until well blended and smooth.
11. Using a pastry bag pipe about half of the mixture over the bottom layer of savoiardi.
12. Then dip more savoiardi and place on top of the mascarpone mixture.
13. Pipe the remaining mascarpone over these lady fingers.
14. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 6 hours.
15. When serving, sprinkle with cocoa powder and spoon portions into small dishes.
