Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1/3 c Sugar
5 Eggs
1/3 c Marsalla
1/2 c Whipping cream
1 lb Mascarpone cheese
2 ts Lemon rind
1 c Espresso coffee, cold
24 Lady fingers
2 oz Bittersweet chocolate,grated

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.
