--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1                    Lady fingers -- hard
   8                    Egg yolks
     1/4  cup           Sugar
   1      pound         Mascarpone cheese
   2      cups          Cream heavy
   2      cups          Coffee -- strong cooled
   2      tablespoons   Sugar
   2      ounces        Kahlua
   2      ounces        Rum

Whip heavy cream until stiff. Whip egg yolks with 1/4 cup sugar until
pale yellow. Add mascarpone and whip until mixed well. Whip in the
stiffly beaten heavy cream until all is mixed well. Use almost any
size container, usually a 9x13 clear dish. Put half of the cheese
mixture on the bottom, spreading evenly.

Mix the coffee with the kahlua, rum and 2 tbls sugar.

Soak the lady fingers, with the coffee mix, one at a time, until they
absorb some of the liquid, but still feel a little crisp. Place the
soaked lady fingers over the cheese layer in the dish. Top with the
rest of the cheese mixture and smooth over all with the back of a
spoon. Coarsely chop some bittersweet chocolate and sprinkle it over
the top. Let stand chilled at least 6 hours before serving.
