Ingredients
6 eggs, separated
1 cup caster sugar
500g mascarpone
Hot, strong espresso coffee
Liqueur (as little or as much as you like according to taste – Vanessa loves a mixture of Tia Maria, Kahlua and Amaretto)
Pavesini biscuits (a slim version of Savioardi, which also work in this recipe)
Small block chocolate, to garnish
Preparation
In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until thick and white. This will take at least 15 minutes. Add the mascarpone, and beat until smooth and just combined.
Combine the coffee with the liqueurs. Quickly dip biscuits, a few at a time, into the coffee mixture. Set aside on a plate to cool.
In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until thick and stiff. Gently fold into the mascarpone mixture.
Alternative layering the biscuits and mascarpone cream in individual glass bowls. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or longer, preferably. Grate the chocolate over the top to serve.

Hot Tips
Making a cartouche
A cartouche is a circle of baking paper placed on top of a dish to prevent it forming a skin or drying out. To make a cartouche take a square of baking paper slightly larger than your pan, fold in half and in half again, keep folding the same way so that one corner remains the centre point of the paper. When you have folded it over a few times cut off the edge to form a circle.
