Discover the recipe for tiramisu, a creamy and velvety Italian dessert that no one ever wants to share.

- Mascarpone: 250 g

1. For the Cream
Vigorously whisk 3 egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture becomes pale and frothy. Then add the mascarpone and mix until the result is smooth and well combined.
2. For the Whipped Egg Whites
Beat 3 egg whites to firm peaks, adding a pinch of salt, then fold them into the mascarpone cream. Be careful to keep the mixture fluffy and light; do not "break" the whites. Gently fold from top to bottom with a silicone spatula, rotating your bowl a quarter turn each time.
3. For the Coffee Syrup
Prepare a large cup of strong coffee, preferably espresso. Add the Amaretto, an Italian almond liqueur that will incredibly flavor your dessert, and mix.
4. For the Assembly
Trim the ends of the biscuits so they fit perfectly against the walls of your dish. Use the trimmed pieces to fill in any gaps in the center of your tiramisu. Spread a layer of the mascarpone cream on the bottom of the dish, then place a layer of biscuits lightly soaked in the coffee and Amaretto.
Finishing and Serving
Repeat the process, ending with a layer of mascarpone cream which you will dust with bitter cocoa powder or chocolate shavings.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
