Description
Indulge in this creamy Chocolate Tiramisu Delight, a rich dessert that combines layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and a luscious mascarpone mixture.
Ingredients
- 2 cups brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup coffee liqueur (optional)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 24 ladyfinger cookies
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ounce dark chocolate, grated (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, combine the cooled espresso and coffee liqueur (if using). Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- In another bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
- Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and sprinkle with grated dark chocolate.
Notes
- For a mocha twist, add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the mascarpone mixture.
- Substitute the coffee liqueur with almond or vanilla extract for a non-alcoholic version.
