Ingredients

  • 18 Amaretti biscuits
  • 1-2 shots almond espresso
  • 125 g / 4-oz mascarpone
  • 250 ml / ⅔ cup double cream heavy whipping cream
  • 25 ml Amaretto liqueur
  • 2-4 tsps sweetener of choice to taste
  • 50 g / ½ cup toasted flaked almonds divided
  • dark chocolate for grated garnish
  • cocoa powder for dusting garnish

Instructions

  • Place the Amaretti biscuits into a shallow dish and pour over the espresso. Leave to soak, turning once or twice.
  • Meanwhile, make the cream filling by whisking the mascarpone, cream, Amaretto, and sweetener (to your personal taste, I used 2 teaspoons) until thick and creamy. Do not over whip! Fold in most of the flaked almonds, reserving some for topping.
  • To assemble the Tiramisu, you will need two large wine glasses - or similar - small glass bowls would work well.
  • Place 4 Amaretti biscuits into each glass and add about half of the cream filling. Then grate over some dark chocolate and sprinkle over a little cocoa powder.
  • Layer the final 5 Amaretti biscuits into each glass, then add the remaining cream mixture.
  • Sprinkle over a generous dusting of cocoa powder, sprinkle with some more grated dark chocolate, and the remaining almonds.
  • Can be served immediately, but best served chilled.
