Of 3
Separate the yolks from the egg whites.
In a bowl incorporate the yolks with the sugar and beat them until they become light and frothy, then add the mascarpone cheese to the mixture and mix with a whisk until smooth.
Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks and add them to the yolk and mascarpone mixture, stirring the cream from the bottom up, gently.

Prepare the coffee and let cool.
Pour the cold coffee into a large bowl; soak the ladyfingers on both sides, quickly, to prevent them from getting too wet, then place them on the bottom of a rectangular baking dish, side by side, and spread a layer of mascarpone cream on top of them, about 1 cm thick.
