Use Italian lady fingers also called Savoiardi, for the best results. You
can use any kind of spirits or liqueurs in the dessert (marsala, vin santo,
rum, brandy, Tia Maria, Frangelico, Amaretto) be guided by your own tastes.
If you can't find mascarpone, use 8oz ricotta and double the amount of
whipping cream. If you don't have an espresso maker, use strong black
coffee.
1. In a heavy pot, on medium-low heat, whisk together sugar and eggs until
frothy. Continue whisking until mixture begins to thicken. Whisk in 1/4 cup
marsala and continue to cook until mixture coats the back of a spoon.
Scrape
into bowl and reserve.
2. Whip cream until it holds its shape. With same beaters, whisk mascarpone
and lemon rind together until mixture softens. Fold in egg/marsala mixture
and whipping cream.
3. Combine espresso and remaining 2Tb marsala. Dip lady fingers into coffee
mixture two at a time and soak evenly. Place a layer of lady fingers on
bottom of 11x7 inch dish. Spread with half of the mascarpone creame.
