- 1 large packet of sponge finger biscuits (savoiardi)

Method
- Combine coffee and marsala into a shallow dish.
- In a large bowl, mix egg yolks and sugar with electric beaters. Beat until mixture is pale and thick. Add mascarpone and whipped cream. Gently stir until just combined.
- Place egg whites in a medium bowl and beat until soft peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into the mascarpone mixture with a large metal spoon.
