Step 1

Separate the egg yolks from the whites.

Cream the yolks with sugar until pale in colour.

Step 5

Spread a layer of mascarpone mixture over the base of a rectangular baking dish or lasagna dish.
Step 6

Dip the Savoiardi biscuits one at a time in a bowl of cooled espresso coffee (can dilute with water) and the rest of the liqueur, taking care not to make them soggy.

Grate chocolate over the top and set aside for two hours before serving.
