Ingredients:  
14-16 lady finger biscuits
4 oz. mascarpone or ricotta cheese (I use mascarpone)
1 whole egg, separated
2 T sugar
4 oz. espresso or very strong coffee, cooled
1 cup freshly whipped cream
2 T cocoa powder
2 T Grand Marnier
1 oz. Marsala wine
1 T. chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Directions:
Directions:
Prepare espresso, add 1 tablespoon sugar and let cool, then add the Grand Marnier to the coffee. Using a double boiler, bring water to boil in the bottom part. Place the egg yolk, sugar and Marsala wine in the top of the double boiler. Stir mixture continuously for 10 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and cool. Meanwhile, beat the egg white until stiff. Set aside. Whip cream and set aside.

Fold mascarpone into egg mixture, then fold in beaten egg white and set aside. Brush generously the ladyfingers on one side only with the espresso and Grand Marnier. Do not soak. Line the bottom of a baking dish (approx 10" x 10") with half the lady fingers, and spread over half of the mascarpone mixture, then layer of the freshly whipped cream and sprinkle with cocoa powder. Cover with the remaining lady fingers and repeat the layers of mascarpone, whipped cream and cocoa powder.

Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving.

Garnish: Chocolate shavings and a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
