Sardinian recipe

Prepare the coffee/beat egg whites until stiff/mix powdered sugar, egg yolks, and Amaretto until smooth. Add the mascarpone and then fold in the egg whites. Dip the sponge fingers into the coffee and arrange them in a nice dish, layering them nicely. One layer of sponge fingers, one layer of cream, etc. The last layer should be cream. Place it in the refrigerator. Sprinkle with cocoa powder just before serving. There’s also a “healthier” version… 1/2 mascarpone and 1/2 cream cheese, such as Buko or Philadelphia Light. It will keep in the refrigerator for a maximum of 2 days, then it has to be eaten because of the egg.
