Amaretti Tiramisu image

In a twist on classic tiramisu, the leftover almond-flavored macaroons assume a more prominent role: Layered with an airy mascarpone mousse, they take the place of the traditional ladyfingers.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 large eggs, separated
5 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/2 pound mascarpone (about 1 cup) at room temperature
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup chilled heavy cream
1 cup brewed espresso or very strong brewed coffee, cooled to room temperature
5 ounces amaretti (crisp Italian macaroons; 30 to 40, depending on size)

Steps:

  • Beat together yolks and 2 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until thick and pale, about 2 minutes. Beat in mascarpone until just combined.
  • Beat whites with salt in another large bowl with cleaned beaters until they just hold soft peaks. Add remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, a little at a time, beating, then continue to beat until whites just hold stiff peaks.
  • Beat cream in another bowl with cleaned beaters until it just holds stiff peaks. Gently but thoroughly fold cream into mascarpone mixture, then fold mixture into whites.
  • Pour espresso into a shallow bowl. Dip half of amaretti (15 to 20) in espresso for about 20 seconds, turning to coat both sides and letting excess drip off. Arrange in 1 layer in an 8-inch square baking dish. Spread half of mascarpone mixture evenly over amaretti. Make another layer in same manner with remaining amaretti (dipped in espresso) and mascarpone mixture. Chill at least 6 hours.

I'm not a big fan of tiramisu, but this amaretti version is pretty good. It's not too heavy or sweet, and the amaretti cookies add a nice flavor.

I had some trouble finding amaretti cookies, but I was able to find them at a specialty grocery store. They're definitely worth the effort to find.

This tiramisu is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.
