For the Coffee Mixture:

• 1 cup of strong brewed coffee, cooled
• 1/4 cup of coffee liqueur (optional)

• 4 ounces of semisweet chocolate, finely chopped

For the Topping:

• 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
• Dark chocolate shavings (optional)

Directions for Chocolate Tiramisu

Preparing the Mascarpone Filling:

1. Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
2. Mix Mascarpone: In another bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder. Beat until smooth and well combined.
3. Fold Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated. Set aside.

Preparing the Coffee Mixture:

1. Brew Coffee: Brew a cup of strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
2. Add Liqueur: If using, stir in the coffee liqueur to the cooled coffee.

Assembling the Tiramisu:

1. Dip Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Place a single layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish or similar.
2. Add Filling: Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers. Sprinkle half of the chopped chocolate over the mascarpone.
3. Repeat Layers: Add another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone mixture. Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers and sprinkle with the remaining chopped chocolate.
4. Chill: Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

Finishing the Tiramisu:

1. Dust with Cocoa: Just before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder.
2. Add Chocolate Shavings: Garnish with dark chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance (optional).

Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Large mixing bowls
• Electric mixer or whisk
• 9×9-inch baking dish
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Sifter or fine-mesh strainer

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftover tiramisu in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will continue to develop, making it even more delicious the next day. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the mascarpone filling may change.

Recipe Notes and Tips

• Make-Ahead: Tiramisu is an excellent make-ahead dessert. Prepare it the day before serving to give the flavors time to meld.
• Alcohol-Free Option: If you prefer to skip the coffee liqueur, simply use all coffee for soaking the ladyfingers.
• Chocolate Variations: For a more intense chocolate flavor, you can add a layer of chocolate ganache between the layers of mascarpone filling and ladyfingers.
