Add mascarpone to whipped yolks. Beat until combined. In a separate bowl whip cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold into yolk mixture and set aside.

Split the lady fingers in half and line the bottom and sides of a large glass bowl. Brush with coffee liqueur. Spoon half of the cream filling over the lady fingers.
