The original recipe does not have vanilla essence in the mixture, however anything that has raw eggs we like to add a dash of vanilla essence.

2. Beat egg yolks & sugar till light & creamy.
3. Add in mascarpone cheese, vanilla essence & whisk till smooth & creamy.
4. In a separate bowl beat egg whites stiffly & add to above mixture. (Make sure no egg yolk or any other liquid falls into the egg whites otherwise they will not go stiff).
5. In another bowl beat fresh cream stiffly & add to above mixture & mix well.
