Ingredients
- EGG YOLKS, 6 large

- Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks, then fold it into the mascarpone.
- Fold in the zabaglione.
- Mix the espresso with the coffee-flavored liqueur.
- Line the bottom of a 9-inch square glass or porcelain baking dish with half the savoiardi. Brush them with half of the espresso.
- Spoon half of the zabaglione over them.
- Top with another layer of savoiardi, brush with the remaining espresso, and smooth over the rest of the zabaglione on top.
- Dust the top with the cocoa sieved through a fine strainer.
- Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
