Ingredients

• 500g mascarpone cheese
• 4 eggs, separated
• 100g caster sugar
• 200g amaretti biscuits
• 1 cup strong coffee, cooled
• 2 tbsp amaretto liqueur
• cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with the caster sugar until pale and creamy.
2. Add the mascarpone cheese to the bowl and mix well until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
4. Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
5. In a shallow dish, mix together the cooled coffee and amaretto liqueur.
6. Dip each amaretti biscuit into the coffee mixture briefly, and then arrange them in a single layer in the bottom of a 20cm square dish.
7. Spoon half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of amaretti biscuits, and spread it evenly with a spatula.
8. Repeat with another layer of coffee-dipped amaretti biscuits, followed by the remainder of the mascarpone mixture.
9. Refrigerate the tiramisù for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set.
10. Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisù generously with cocoa powder.
11. Cut into squares and serve chilled.

Enjoy this indulgent dessert with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of amaretto liqueur on the side. The amaretti biscuits add a delicious crunch to the creamy texture of the mascarpone, creating a delightful taste and texture contrast that will leave you wanting more!
