Ingredients

Method

1.

Separate the eggs, place egg whites in a bowl and whisk to stiff peaks. In another bowl beat the egg yolks with the icing sugar until pale and fluffy. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese to the yolk mixture then fold in the egg whites.

2.

Have your individual espresso cups ready and start to dip the sponge fingers in the coffee and create the first layer in the bottom of each cup. Follow with a layer of the mascarpone cheese mixture, layering until the cup is full and finishing with the mascarpone.

3.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. To serve, sift a generous amount of cocoa powder over the top.
