Ingredients: 2 cups espresso or strong coffee (he uses instant), 2 8 oz packages of Marscarpone cheese (softened), 5 large eggs (separated), 1.5 cups sugar (divided), 2-3 packages of lady fingers, 1/4 cup cocoa powder.
First make the coffee in a small bowl and allow it to cool. Beat egg whites on med-high speed with an electric mixer till soft peaks form, then add 3/4 cups of sugar. Continue to beat the egg whites till stiff peaks form. In a large mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks, cheese, and the remaining sugar until thoroughly combined and smooth:
Gently fold the whites into the egg and cheese mixture. Dip the lady fingers by twos quickly into the cooled coffee and place in a single layer in the bottom of a 9x13 pan (Note: the lady fingers are like sponges, and if they soak up too much coffee, they'll fall apart):
Spoon half of the cheese mixture onto the lady fingers, spreading it evenly. Top that with another layer of coffee-dipped lady fingers and then the remaining cheese mixture. Cover the top completely with dusting of cocoa powder, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Then cut, serve, and enjoy!
