📝 Ingredients:
(Serves 6)

For the Tiramisu Base:

• 🥚 3 eggs
• 🧀 250 g mascarpone
• 🥛 3 cl heavy cream (or milk)
• 🍪 150 g ladyfinger biscuits
• 🍪 100 g amaretti cookies
• 🍬 100 g granulated sugar
• 🍸 3 cl amaretto
• 🌟 2 g gelatin sheets (1 sheet)
• 🍫 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 🌟 1 pinch of salt

For the Syrup:

• ☕ 2 shots of espresso
• 🍸 5 cl amaretto

📋 Directions:

1. 🍳 Prepare the Mascarpone Cream (Day Before):
   • Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
   • Whisk the yolks with the sugar until pale and creamy. Add the mascarpone and amaretto, whisking until smooth.
2. 🌿 Incorporate the Gelatin:
   • Soak the gelatin sheet in cold water to soften.
   • Heat the cream (or milk) until warm, then dissolve the softened gelatin in it. Add this mixture to the mascarpone cream, mixing well.
3. 🥚 Whip the Egg Whites:
   • Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until very firm peaks form.
   • Stir one-third of the whipped egg whites vigorously into the mascarpone mixture to lighten it. Gently fold in the remaining whites using a spatula, lifting the mixture to maintain the airy texture.
4. ☕ Prepare the Syrup:
   • Mix the espresso shots with the amaretto.
5. 🧁 Assemble the Tiramisu:
   • Dip the ladyfinger biscuits in the coffee-amaretto syrup and arrange them in a glass dish or individual serving cups.
   • Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the biscuits.
   • Add another layer of soaked biscuits, followed by the remaining mascarpone cream.
   • Refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
6. ✨ Finish and Serve (Day Of):
   • Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve.
   • Garnish with amaretti cookies for a decorative touch. Serve chilled and enjoy this decadent treat!
