  The company that makes this particular brand of cheese (Bel Gioioso,
  pronouced "bel-joy-oso" Cheese Inc. of Denmark, Wisconsin) put this
  recipe on the side of its 8-ounce Mascarpone container. They call it
  their "Famous 'Tiramisu' Dessert Recipe," but then again, I guess
  every cheese company, every restaurant has a "famous" recipe. This
  one makes 6 servings. Directions 1. Combine 3 egg yolks, 1 tablespoon
  Espresso, sugar, and Cognac into the large mixing bowl. 2. Beat 2 to
  3 minutes. 3. Add Mascarpone and beat 3 to 5 minutes until
  consistency is smooth. 4. In another bowl, combine 3 egg whites and a
  pinch of sugar. Beat until mixture forms stiff peaks. 5. Gently fold
  into Mascarpone mixture. 6. Pour rest of Espresso into flat dish, dip
  one side of each Lady Finger, and layer on bottom of serving dish. 7.
  Spread 1/3 of Mascarpone mixture and sprinkle with cocoa. 8. Continue
  layering and finish with a Mascarpone layer. 9. Sprinkle and
  refrigerate 1 hour before serving.
