Method
- 1
Pour the coffee into a shallow dish where you will soak the ladyfingers. Add the Marsala wine to the coffee. Separate the egg whites and yolks. Whip the egg whites and half of the sugar (½ dl) into stiff peaks. Combine the yolks, the remaining sugar, and the vanilla sugar in another bowl. Whip until pale and fluffy. Add the mascarpone to the yolk-sugar mixture and beat until smooth. Gently fold the mixtures together with a spatula.

Dip half of the ladyfingers one by one on both sides into the coffee and arrange the first layer of cookies into a high-sided dish (24 x 20 cm). Spread half of the filling over the ladyfinger base and smooth the surface. Create a second layer of ladyfingers on top of the filling, soaking them in the coffee in the same way. Spread the remaining filling on top. Smooth the surface. Place in the refrigerator.
