Fresh eggs 3 Mascarpone 250 g Ladyfingers 20 Amaretto liqueur 1 shot Cocoa powder Strong instant black coffee 1 teaspoon Whole coffee beans Raw sugar 80 g Vanilla sugar 1 packet |

1 Prepare 150 mL of coffee in a cup and set aside. Separate the egg whites from the yolks into two separate bowls.
2 Whisk the egg yolks with the brown sugar and vanilla sugar until smooth and slightly foamy. Add the mascarpone and whisk vigorously until you obtain a smooth, creamy texture.
3 Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form using an electric mixer. If the cream seems too runny, continue beating the whites to achieve more firmness. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula to preserve the airy texture.
4 In a bowl, mix the cooled black coffee with the shot of Amaretto. Make sure the coffee is completely cooled before using it. Quickly dip the ladyfingers into the mixture: they should be lightly soaked without falling apart. Do not let the cookies soak too long, as they may break.
5 Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a rectangular or shallow dish. Cover with a generous layer of mascarpone cream. Use a spatula to spread the cream evenly.
Alternate layers of ladyfingers and cream until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of mascarpone.
6 Cover the tiramisù with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let it rest for at least one night. This resting time is essential for the flavors to blend harmoniously and for the ladyfingers to fully absorb the aromas.
7 Before serving, dust the tiramisù with a thin layer of sifted unsweetened cocoa powder. Use a sieve to achieve an even coating. For an elegant touch, garnish with a few whole coffee beans.
