Tiramisu With Strawberries & Blueberries

• 48 lady finger cookies
• 1 cup of powdered sugar
• 5 eggs yolks
• 5 egg whites
• 450 gr. of mascarpone cheese (softened)
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 cup of Amaretto
• 2 cups of coffee (espresso)
• 4 tablespoon of cocoa powder
• Strawberries (sliced)
• Blueberries
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish

1. Make the coffee and leave to cool completely, at least 2 hours prior. Add to the coffee the amaretto and keep refrigerated.
2. In a bowl: add the sugar and the eggs yolks, mix until the sugar has dissolved and the eggs start to look pale white (off-white colour), then add the mascarpone and vanilla, folding consistently but delicately. Keep in the fridge.
3. In another bowl: beat egg whites until soft white picks and then add it to the mascarpone mixture, folding softly. Keep in the fridge.
4. In a shallow tray (no more than 6 cm hight) lay 24 lady fingers, close to each other, spoon in the coffee, making sure it is half way covering the cookies, turn them over and spoon coffee again in the same measure. Let the cookies absorb the liquid. This will give you the first layer of cookies, repeat procedure for the second layer.
5. Add a layer of the mascarpone mixture top with the second layer of cookies and top again with mascarpone mixture.
6. Sprinkle the cocoa powder and keep refrigerated at least 3 hours, before serving. Then top with fruits and garnish with mint.
