Make a good espresso and let it cool completely.

Separate the eggs into three bowls.

Add 5 tablespoons of granulated sugar to the egg yolks and whisk until pale and creamy.

Whip the heavy cream until just below butter consistency.

Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form, ensuring they can hold their shape.

Fold the mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk and sugar mixture.

Add a few tablespoons of amaretto liqueur to the cooled espresso and cream mixture.

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture.

Dip the savoiardi cookies into the coffee for a count of three, ensuring they are not over-soaked.

Layer the soaked savoiardi in a glass, followed by a layer of the cream mixture.

Repeat the layers, finishing with a creamy layer on top.

Chill in the fridge before serving, then dust with cocoa powder.
