Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 large eggs, separated
5 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/2 pound mascarpone (about 1 cup) at room temperature
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup chilled heavy cream
1 cup brewed espresso or very strong brewed coffee, cooled to room temperature
5 ounces amaretti (crisp Italian macaroons; 30 to 40, depending on size)

Steps:

  • Beat together yolks and 2 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until thick and pale, about 2 minutes. Beat in mascarpone until just combined.
  • Beat whites with salt in another large bowl with cleaned beaters until they just hold soft peaks. Add remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, a little at a time, beating, then continue to beat until whites just hold stiff peaks.
  • Beat cream in another bowl with cleaned beaters until it just holds stiff peaks. Gently but thoroughly fold cream into mascarpone mixture, then fold mixture into whites.
  • Pour espresso into a shallow bowl. Dip half of amaretti (15 to 20) in espresso for about 20 seconds, turning to coat both sides and letting excess drip off. Arrange in 1 layer in an 8-inch square baking dish. Spread half of mascarpone mixture evenly over amaretti. Make another layer in same manner with remaining amaretti (dipped in espresso) and mascarpone mixture. Chill at least 6 hours.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the final product. Look for fresh eggs, real mascarpone cheese, and strong coffee.
  • Make sure the ladyfingers are properly soaked: The ladyfingers should be soaked in the coffee mixture until they are soft and pliable, but not soggy.
  • Don't over-beat the mascarpone cheese: Over-beating the mascarpone cheese will make it grainy and runny. Beat it just until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Chill the tiramisu before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set properly.
  • Garnish the tiramisu with cocoa powder or shaved chocolate: This will add a touch of elegance and flavor.

Conclusion:

Amaretti tiramisu is a delicious and classic Italian dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, creamy texture and subtle almond flavor, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. If you are looking for a special dessert to impress your friends and family, amaretti tiramisu is the perfect choice.
