Steps:
- Combine egg yolks and sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and creamy. Add mascarpone cheese and 2 tablespoons amaretto. Beat well.
- Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl with clean beaters until stiff peaks form. Fold beaten egg whites into the mascarpone mixture.
- Pour espresso and remaining 2 tablespoons amaretto into a shallow dish. Stir well. Working one at a time, quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture and line the bottom of an 8-inch glass dish.
- Once the bottom of the dish is covered in an even layer of espresso-soaked ladyfingers, top with 1/2 the mascarpone mixture. Repeat with another ladyfinger layer, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture. Chill in the refrigerator for about 4 hours.
- Dust with cocoa powder before serving.

If you have viewed my other recipes, you might have picked up that I favor low fat, low sugar recipes. Some people might think ---why? Where is all the fun of eating gone?

- Let the tiramisu chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set properly.
- When dipping the ladyfingers in the coffee mixture, be quick so they don't get too soggy.
- Layer the tiramisu in a clear glass dish or trifle bowl so you can see the beautiful layers.
- Garnish the tiramisu with cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries before serving.
