2 egg whites
1½ tablespoons marsala wine amaretto, nocello, or liqueur of choice
2 cups coffee strong coffee, or espresso, cooled
16 ounces mascarpone
30+ ladyfinger cookies

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix egg yolk, powdered sugar, and amaretto together until smooth. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese.
In a different bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Carefully fold the egg whites into the mascarpone egg mixture.
Dip the ladyfingers in espresso or strong coffee. You can also brush the coffee onto the ladyfingers if you prefer a lighter taste.
Create four layers in a dish: Start with a layer of ladyfingers, then a layer of mascarpone cream, another layer of ladyfingers, and finish with a final layer of mascarpone cream. Spread each layer evenly.
Sprinkle cocoa powder over the tiramisu.

Notes

SELECTING THE PERFECT DISH SIZE

Opt for a rectangular or square dish with sides that are at least 2-3 inches deep. Glass or ceramic dishes are preferable. A dish measuring approximately 9x13 inches or 8x8 inches is suitable, allowing for 2-3 layers of ladyfingers and mascarpone cream.

The number of ladyfinger cookies might vary depending on the size of your baking or serving dish you use to layer the tiramisu.
