Notes

To enhance flavor, add a pinch of fine sea salt to the mascarpone mixture. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. The flavors deepen on day two. Skip the Amaretto if you prefer non-alcoholic; the tiramisu will still be delicious. Avoid soaking ladyfingers too long; a quick dip maintains their texture.
