Tiramisu Venetian Style
- 6 large eggs, separated
- 4 tablespoons (50 g) sugar
- 2 cups (500 g) mascarpone cheese, drained of any excess liquid
- 1 cup (240 ml) sweet vermouth
- Two 7-ounce (420 g) packages amaretti cookies
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks with 3 tablespoons of the sugar until foamy and pale.
- Beat in the mascarpone until smooth.
- Stir in the egg yolks; set aside.
- In a large bowl, using a standing or hand-held mixer, whip the egg whites until frothy.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of sugar and beat until they hold soft peaks.
- Fold the mascarpone mixture into the egg whites.
- Set aside.
- Pour the vermouth into a small bowl.
- Reserve five amaretti cookies to crumble and sprinkle over the top of the dessert.
- One at a time, dip the remaining amaretti cookies into the vermouth; they should absorb some of the liquid but not be mushy.
- Place the soaked amaretti in one snug layer on the bottom of a 9-inch ceramic dish or pie plate.
- Evenly spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the amaretti.
- Place another layer of soaked cookies over the mascarpone.
- Repeat the layering, spreading the remaining mascarpone mixture, then ending with a layer of soaked cookies; this layer should be loosely arranged so that the cream mixture below is visible.
- Sprinkle with the crumbled dry amaretti.
- Refrigerate to set for at least 2 hours.
