INSTRUCTIONS
Beat the eggs and the sugar with a whisk until pale and frothy. Beat in the
mascarpone a spoonful at a time, then beat in the Marsala. Place the coffee
and whisky or brandy in a shallow dish. Briefly dip the biscuits into the
coffee mixture, then lay them in your chosen dish or tin. Trim the biscuits
to fill the gaps. Once the layer is even, spread half the mascarpone
mixture. Sift over a coating of cocoa powder and then repeat. Chill for at
least 6 hours, then serve topped with grated dark chocolate.
