2. In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks and 80g caster sguar and a few drops of vanilla essence together until smooth.

3. In a second larger bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese with the cream to make it thinner and smooth.

4. Pour the egg mixture to the cheese mixture and beat until all combined and mix well. Should the mixture be too dense and thick, then add a little bit of milk. If the mixture is too light, then add some more mascarphone cheese. Taste it and see if the mixture is tasty enough!

5. Mix coffee with your liquer and the remaining 20g caster sugar in a third bowl.

6. Lightly dip the ladyfinger biscuits with the coffee and line these bicuits on the bottom of the dessert container (a glass rectangular container or individual dessert bowls). Then add a layer of the cheese mixture, then sprinkle some cocoa powder on top. Then another layer of the biscuits dipped with coffee, then another layer of the mascarphone cheese, then cocoa powder, until all materials used up.

Best with a glass at Amaretto!
