Add the sugar & vanilla to the yolks. Whisk until the mixture starts to thicken.

Step 3

Add the mascarpone & continue mixing.

Step 4

Add the amaretto (optional).

Step 5

Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites. Beat or whisk until they form stiff peaks.

Step 6

Pour the egg yolk-mascarpone mixture into a large bowl. Slowly fold in the egg whites, using a spatula.
