When the zabaglione is cooled, fold it in, in 3 to 4 batches, into the Mascarpone cream using a plastic spatula. Do not stir or fold vigorously or you will destroy the fluffy texture of the cream.
Repeat the same with the beaten egg whites, folding them in batches into the zabaglione and Mascarpone mixture.
Make the Tiramisu
Pour some of the lemon syrup into a shallow dish. Roll each ladyfinger in the lemon syrup, then place it in a serving dish (the serving dish should hold about 20 ladyfingers on a single layer). Do not oversoak or the ladyfingers will fall apart. Place ladyfingers, one next to the other until you cover the bottom of the serving dish.
