Method

1. Place Boudoir biscuits in a baking dish. Pour the coffee over them evenly and allow them to soak while you make the mascarpone filling.
2. Place the egg yolks, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of the cream in a small saucepan and whisk together well. 
3. Place over medium heat and whisk constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the custard thickens. 
4. Remove from heat, scrape into a large mixing bowl and let cool completely.
5. In another bowl, beat the remaining cream to stiff peaks. Set aside.
6. Add the mascarpone to the cooled custard and whisk together until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream until well combined. 
7. Spread a layer of filling over the top of the biscuits. Continue to layer coffee-soaked biscuits and mascarpone filling until you reach the top of the serving dish. Try to end with a layer of filling. 
8. Smooth with the back of the spoon. 
9. Dust the top with cocoa powder.
10. Refrigerate for several hours
