BeeramisuHeidi notes: I made a few minor tweaks to Paul's version. I did individual servings instead of a big family-style version and I used Italian-style ladyfingers called savoiardi, they are harder and don't go to mush when you dunk them in the coffee bath. Look for them at Italian markets. A.G. Ferrari here in San Francisco carries them.

• 1 pound mascarpone cheese
• 1 cup confectioner's sugar
• 2 eggs beaten (hs note: leave these out if you are worried about eating raw eggs, it's still tasty)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 3/4 cup heavy cream, whipped
• 48 ladyfinger cookies (hs note: I used less, one 7 ounce package)
• 6 ounces (3/4 cup) Porter beer
• 1/2 cup brewed coffee, the stronger the better
• 1/2 cup cocoa

In a large bowl mix together the mascarpone, sugar, beaten eggs and vanilla. Fold in the whipped cream. Set this mixture aside.

In a shallow dish stir together the Porter beer and the brewed coffee, Dip the ladyfingers cookies into the coffee mixture (hs note: if you are using regular non-Italian ladyfingers make it a quick dunk). Don't let the ladyfingers get soggy. Arrange them in a single layer in a glass casserole dish (hs note: 8x8 is prob. fine). Spread 1/2-inch layer of mascarpone mixture on top of the ladyfingers. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cocoa. Repeat this for the second layer. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving.
