• Cocoa powder for dusting

Preparation Steps:

1. Separate the eggs into yolks and whites. Beat the yolks with half of the sugar until light.
2. Add mascarpone and vanilla extract to the yolks. Beat thoroughly until a uniform cream is formed.
3. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar and continue beating until glossy.
4. Gently fold the egg white mixture into the mascarpone cream, using light bottom-up motions.
5. Mix the black coffee and amaretto. Dip the ladyfingers in this mixture and arrange them in the bottom layer of the dish.
6. Cover the ladyfingers with half of the mascarpone cream. Repeat the layers.
7. Refrigerate the Tiramisu for several hours (preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
8. Before serving, dust the Tiramisu with cocoa powder.

Tips and Recommendations:

• Use fresh and quality ingredients for the best result.
• Chill the Tiramisu in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight to allow it to soak up the flavors.

Common Mistakes:

• Avoid beating yolks and whites in the same bowl, as the fats from the yolks can interfere with proper egg white whipping.
• Do not refrigerate the Tiramisu for too long before serving to avoid a loss of texture and flavor.
• Fully cool the coffee before using it to prevent melting the mascarpone cream.
