INSTRUCTIONS

Use Italian lady fingers also called Savoiardi, for the best results. You
can use any kind of spirits or liqueurs in the dessert (marsala, vin santo,
rum, brandy, Tia Maria, Frangelico, Amaretto) be guided by your own tastes.
If you can't find mascarpone, use 8oz ricotta and double the amount of
whipping cream. If you don't have an espresso maker, use strong black
coffee. 1. In a heavy pot, on medium-low heat, whisk together sugar and
eggs until frothy. Continue whisking until mixture begins to thicken. Whisk
in 1/4 cup marsala and continue to cook until mixture coats the back of a
spoon. Scrape into bowl and reserve. 2. Whip cream until it holds its
shape. With same beaters, whisk mascarpone and lemon rind together until
mixture softens. Fold in egg/marsala mixture and whipping cream. 3. Combine
espresso and remaining 2Tb marsala. Dip lady fingers into coffee mixture
two at a time and soak evenly. Place a layer of lady fingers on bottom of
11x7 inch dish. Spread with half of the mascarpone creame. Sprinkle with
grated chocolate. Add another layer of soaked lady fingers. Top with
mascarpone cream and remaining chocolate.
