Ingredients

3 egg whites*
6 egg yolks*

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites and 3 tbsp of sugar together with a hand mixer, for about 3-5 minutes until the egg whites hold stiff
peaks.
In a separate bowl, whip the egg yolks with the remaining 3 tbsp sugar for 2-3 minutes until the egg yolks are thick and pale yellow
in color.

Add the mascarpone to the egg yolks and whip until combined.

Gently fold the stiff egg whites into the egg yolk mixture and set aside.

In a small flat dish or bowl, combine the espresso and amaretto.

Dunk each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture for 1-2 seconds and place into the bottom of a 8x8 dish, or into individual ramekins. Don’t
let the ladyfinger soak so much that it falls apart, just a quick dunk to let it absorb a little bit of espresso.

Once the ladyfingers have formed a single layer in the bottom of the dish, spread 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.

Arrange another layer of espresso soaked ladyfingers on top, and spread over the remaining mascarpone cream.

Cover the top of the dish with plastic wrap and let the tiramisu refrigerate for 4-6 hours.

Serve cold, with a light dusting of cocoa on top. Enjoy!

Notes

*This recipe contains raw eggs, consume at your own risk. You can use pasteurized eggs if there's concern.**You want two layers of
ladyfingers total, so it's whatever amount fits in a 8x8 dish. Some brands of ladyfingers are twice the size of others, so 3-4 dozen would
be the smaller ones.
