Tiramisu Piemontese is a traditional Italian dessert that originated in the northern region of Piedmont. Unlike other versions of tiramisu, which use sweetened cream or whipped cream, Tiramisu Piemontese uses mascarpone cheese to give it a rich and creamy texture. The dessert is typically served chilled and dusted with cocoa powder. It is a popular dessert in Italy and is often served at special occasions, such as weddings and birthdays.

Instructions

1.	Separate the egg yolks from the whites and beat the yolks in a large bowl with the sugar until pale yellow and creamy.
2.	Add the mascarpone to the egg yolk mixture and mix until well combined.
3.	In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
4.	Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture.
5.	Add the marsala to the brewed coffee and stir well.
6.	Dip a ladyfinger biscuit into the coffee mixture, making sure to coat both sides.
7.	Place the biscuit into the bottom of a serving dish and repeat until the bottom is covered.
8.	Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the biscuits.
9.	Add another layer of the coffee-dipped biscuits on top of the mascarpone mixture.
10.	Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture on top of the second layer of biscuits.
11.	Dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
12.	Before serving, sprinkle sweetened cocoa powder over the top.
