📝 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:
- 🍳 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.
- 🌿 Incorporate the Gelatin:

- 🥚 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.
- ☕ Prepare the Syrup:
- Mix the espresso shots with the amaretto.
- 🧁 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.
- ✨ Finish and Serve (Day Of):
- Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve.
