Make the custard in the usual fashion, doubly thick custard is necessary.
Mix Marsala and coffee together in bowl, add a little water if the mixture is too strong, do this to taste. Dip the biscuits in the mixture and line a deep dish. Biscuits are best thoroughly soaked. Put a layer of sponge biscuits, a layer of custard, alternating, to fill dish. Finish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.
Better served next day.
Store bought custards work, but must be the thickened ones.
