Classic Italian Tiramisu

My classic Italian tiramisu recipe is made with traditional ingredients, including both egg yolks and egg whites, espresso rather than coffee, and zero heavy cream. A spoonful of espresso and amaretto soaked ladyfingers nestled in a creamy mascarpone filling and dusted with rich cocoa tastes of pure tiramisu bliss straight from the heart of Italy.

Notes

Use any dish you have on hand! Since this is a cold-set dessert, it doesn't matter what dish you use. As long as it's about 2" in depth to create two layers of ladyfingers, then you can use any size/shape/material pan you'd like! Omit amaretto for alcohol free. While amaretto does add a delicious flavor, it isn't essential to making an outstanding tiramisu. Feel free to omit it, if you'd like. Wait to dust with cocoa powder until just before serving. It's essential for the tiramisu filling to chill before the cocoa powder is added, or it will appear wet. If you do add it immediately, it will still be just as delicious, just not as pretty!
