In a separate bowl, blend the mascarpone cheese with the zabaglione mixture.

Next, prepare the coffee mixture by combining the espresso coffee, remaining sugar, and Amaretto. Allow it to cool.

Dip the ladyfingers into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not overly saturated.

Arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9-inch bowl.

Cover the ladyfingers with half of the zabaglione mixture.

Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of zabaglione on top.
