Preparation Time

Ingredients

200 ml freshly-brewed strong coffee
6 tbsp Marsala or Amaretto liqueur
3 eggs (separated)
50 g caster sugar
250 g mascarpone or cream cheese
150 ml double or whipping cream
24 sponge fingers
200 g Picota cherries (halved and pitted)
2 tsp cocoa powder

Instructions

Mix the coffee and Marsala or Amaretto liqueur and leave until cold.

In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and caster sugar together until very pale, light and fluffy. Use a hand-held electric mixer for this, and whisk on full speed for 3-4 minutes. Add the mascarpone or cream cheese and whisk again for a few seconds.

In a large grease-free bowl and with scrupulously clean beaters, whisk the egg whites until they hold their shape (any trace of grease and they won’t whip). Fold into the cheese mixture. Whip the cream until it holds its shape, then fold this into the cheese mixture too.

One by one, dip half the sponge fingers into the coffee mixture, placing them over the base of a serving dish. Top with half the mascarpone mixture, leveling the surface.

Dip the remaining sponge fingers into the coffee mixture and arrange them in the serving dish in an even layer. Spoon the remaining mascarpone mixture over the top and level the surface. Cover and chill for 1-2 hours, or overnight.

Serve, sprinkled with the cherries and cocoa powder.
