- In a bowl, beat the egg yolks and the sugar together until creamy white. Add the mascarpone cheese and half of the cognac or brandy and beat until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff and fluffy then fold into the mascarpone mixture, mixing only enough to blend.
- In a shallow dish, mix the coffee, remaining cognac or brandy and 4 tablespoons cocoa. Quickly dip the sponge fingers in the coffee mixture and create a layer of biscuits in a serving dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of sponge fingers then dust with cocoa. Repeat with another layer of sponge fingers, the rest of the mascarpone and a final dusting of cocoa.
- Chill for at least 4 hours, then serve!
