Separate the yolks from the whites and whisk separately: the whites into steep foam, and the yolks together with icing sugar until white. Put the cream of mascarpone cheese in a deep bowl, add the vanillin and mix well. Then gently introduce whipped whites and yolks into the cheese mass. Beat all the ingredients again until smooth. Ground coffee and cinnamon sticks pour boiling water. Let the coffee brew and cool. Break the Savoyardi cookies in half and distribute into 6 portioned cookies. Pour each serving with 10 milliliters of Amaretto and 40-50 milliliters of cinnamon coffee. Then grease the cookies with cheese cream and refrigerate the tiramisu for 3-4 hours. After this time, sprinkle the finished dessert with cocoa powder, garnish with raspberries and sprigs of mint.
note
If tiramisu is made in portioned vases or bowls, then a layer of cream is placed on the bottom, on top of which biscuit cookies are placed.
