1 pound of mascarpone cheese
1 cup of heavy whipping cream
1 cup granulated sugar (you can use brown sugar for a not as sweet choice)

approximately 20 lady fingers (a long, light Italian cookie that has sugar along the top side of the cookie
2 shots of espresso or you can use a dark roast coffee
cocoa powder (to cover the top of the cake)

1. you need to pour the bowl of cream in a bowl (preferably big) then chill in the refrigerator
2. beat the cream until stiff peaks form
3. put the cheese, brandy, and sugar in a medium bowl and mix until smooth (add more sugar and brandy as you like)
4. FOLD cream into cheese mixture do not whip because this will cause the cream to lose it's 'air'
5. soak lady fingers in espresso (you can use a spoon to lay it on if you do not want it to turn out moist) but not for too long because this will make the cake soggy
