Dear Najua: Kathleen Emmons of Boccaccio’s was flattered to be asked for the recipe. It’s not as difficult to prepare as you might think.
Beat egg yolks with powdered sugar on medium speed until pale and creamy, about 5 minutes. Add mascarpone and beat until thick and firm.
Whip egg whites until fluffy and firm, 3 to 4 minutes. Fold egg whites into mascarpone mixture.
Combine espresso and Amaretto. Quickly dip half ladyfingers in espresso mixture on each side. Layer ladyfingers in bottom of an 9-inch square glass baking dish. Spread ladyfinger layer with half mascarpone mixture. Dip remaining ladyfingers in espresso mixture, layer in dish, then spread remaining mascarpone on top. Chill 2 hours.
