Tiramisu

Step 1

In two small bowls, separate the egg yolks from the whites.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the sugar to the egg yolks & mix until the mixture thickens & becomes lighter in color.

Step 4

Add the mascarpone, amaretto & vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.

Step 5

In batches, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture.

Step 6

Prepare the coffee (about 1.5 cups for 8 servings) & pour it into a shallow container to cool. Working one ladyfinger at a time, quickly dip the cookie into the coffee, then place it in a large baking dish. Repeat until the bottom of the baking dish is covered.

Step 7

Add half the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Spread evenly using a spatula. Add a second layer of ladyfingers, then another layer of mousse. Cover the tiramisu & chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hrs up to overnight.

Step 8

Remove the tiramisu just before serving & dust with cocoa powder. Enjoy!
