Method:

1. Combine the coffee and Marsala in a bowl and set aside. Beat the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl with an electric beater for 3 minutes, or until thick and pale. Add the Mascarpone and mix.

2. Transfer to a large bowl. Beat the cream in a separate bowl, with an electric beater, until soft peaks form, then fold into the Mascarpone mixture.

3. Place the egg whites in a small, clean, dry bowl and beat, with an electric beater, until soft peaks form. Fold quickly and lightly into the cream mixture.

4. Dip half the biscuits into the coffee mixture, drain off any excess and arrange in a large glass serving dish. Spread half the cream mixture over the biscuits.

5. Dip the remaining biscuits into the remaining coffee mixture and repeat layering. Smooth the surface, dust liberally with the cocoa powder. Refrigerate overnight.
