"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

In a large bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.

Add mascarpone cheese. Beat until smooth.

In a separate bowl, beat egg whites and 1 teaspoon of sugar until stiff peaks form. Do not over mix.

Gently fold egg whites into mascarpone mixture and set aside.

Quickly dip each ladyfinger into expresso and arrange in a single layer in the bottom of a 13"x9" glass pan.

Spread half the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.

Arrange another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone layer and top with remaining mascarpone mixture.

This is one of our favorite desserts. I usually make this for Nick for his birthday.

You can substitute Kahlua or other liqueur for Amaretto.
