Short Black Mascarpone

4 eggs, separated
3 tablespoons sugar
500g fresh mascarpone
2 tablespoons heavy cream
3 tablespoons strong black espresso coffee, cooled
1 tablespoon cognac/brandy
2 tablespoons black Sambuca (Opal Nera)
cocoa powder for dusting (Italian or Dutch)
chocolate covered coffee beans for garnish

Beat egg yolks with sugar then blend with the mascarpone and cream
at high speed until well blended and smooth.  Add coffee, brandy
and Sambuca.  Whisk egg whites until stiff peaks.  Gently fold them
into the mixture.  Serve in small coffee cups, dusted with cocoa
powder and garnished with the chocolate coffee beans.

Note: use unsweetened cocoa and if you can't get Opal Nera, substitute
ordinary sambuca.
