To make the coffee liquer

Assemble the Tiramisu
Pour the coffee mixture in a bowl. Dip the ladyfingers in the coffee mixture (do not soak) and then lay them flat side down on the bottom of a serving dish that is about 2 inches high. Repeat with the remaining biscuits until the bottom of the dish is covered.
Pour half of the dark chocolate mixture over the Amaretto biscuits and spread evenly using a spatula. Pour half of the white chocolate mixture and spread evenly.
Repeat with a second layer of Amaretto biscuits dipped in the Espresso liquid, then with the rest of the dark and white chocolate mixtures.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours. Before serving, garnish the Tiramisu cake with chocolate shavings or sifted cocoa powder. Notes and tips Note that there is no sugar used for this Tiramisu but the cake is still sweet. Sweetness comes from the chocolate and the Mascarpone cheese. If you want the cake sweeter, add some sugar (1/3 cup) to the dark chocolate mixture and some more to the white chocolate mixture.
