Ingredients
4 large eggs
½ kilogram mascarpone (Italian cream cheese) 
200 grams white sugar
1 large packet Italian Savoiardi biscuits 
Vanilla sugar
400ml thickened cream
2 tablespoons brandy – or as many as you like!
Strong black coffee – instant is okay.

Method
Separate egg yolks and egg whites.

In a large bowl beat egg yolks with 100gm of sugar, add mascarpone.

In a small bowl beat cream with 100gm of sugar – add to mascarpone mixture.

Sprinkle in some vanilla sugar.

Beat egg whites until stiff – add to mascarpone mixture. Mix together well.

Combine cold strong black coffee with brandy and sugar as desired.

Dip Savioardi biscuits into coffee liquid – front and back. Be quick otherwise they get too soggy.

Buon appetito – Enjoy!!!
