Time 8h23m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 ounces best-quality semisweet chocolate (8 ounces coarsely chopped and 2 ounces peeled into shavings)
2 cups heavy cream
8 ounces mascarpone
2 cups espresso or very strong coffee, cooled
1/3 cup coffee liqueur (recommended: Kahlua)
About 44 ladyfingers (available at supermarkets and Italian bakeries)
Powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Place the chopped chocolate in a large bowl. In a saucepan, bring the cream to a simmer over medium-high heat. Quickly pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 1 minute; then whisk together until the chocolate is melted. Whisk in the mascarpone, then strain into a bowl big enough to whip the mixture in the next day. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Remove the chocolate mixture from the refrigerator and whip until fluffy and slightly stiffened, being careful not to overwhip (like heavy cream, the mixture can turn to butter if whipped too long). Refrigerate.
  • Combine the espresso and coffee liqueur in a shallow dish. (I wear rubber gloves for the next step to keep my fingers from getting stained). Pick up 1 ladyfinger, then place it in the espresso for just as long as it takes you to pick up the next 1 and place it in the espresso (about 10 seconds). Fish the first 1 out and place it in the bottom of a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Repeat with the remaining ladyfingers, arranging them in rows in the bottom of the dish and continuously adding and removing the ladyfingers from the espresso mixture. (This will allow them to soak for the perfect amount of time without getting soggy--they should be wet on the outside but still have an unsoaked core at the center.)
  • When you have made a complete layer of ladyfingers, spread half of the chocolate mixture over the ladyfingers and cover lightly with some of the chocolate shavings. Repeat, making 1 more complete layer of ladyfingers, chocolate, and shavings. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 2 hours.
  • Serve cold, dishing out spoonfuls with a large serving spoon. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.

CHOCOLATE-ESPRESSO TIRAMISU



Chocolate-Espresso Tiramisu image

Timing does not include the 24 hours needed to chill. You could sub in boughten ladyfingers-split, if you prefer. I prefer using amaretti biscuits myself. I appreciate that this can be portioned into pudding cups and frozen-perfect when cooking for 2! I use regular coffee--I put a half scoop into small bowl with 1 cup water, cover it with wax paper (or it really messes up your microwave --I can vouch for that--lol!!) then nuke for about 2 minutes-- strain through coffee filter.

CLASSIC TIRAMISù



Classic Tiramisù image

Done correctly, a classic tiramisù can be transcendent. A creamy dessert of espresso-soaked ladyfingers surrounded by lightly sweetened whipped cream and a rich mascarpone, tiramisù relies heavily on the quality of its ingredients. If you don't have a barista setup at home, pick up the espresso at a local coffee shop, or use strongly brewed coffee. As for the ladyfingers, make your own or buy them, but keep in mind that store-bought varieties can range from soft and spongy (like angel food cake) to hard and crunchy (like biscotti). Both kinds will work here, but if you're using the softer variety, stick to a light brushing of espresso, instead of a deep dip.

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar, divided
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup/227 grams mascarpone (8 ounces)
1 3/4 cups good espresso or very strong coffee
2 tablespoons rum or cognac
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
About 24 ladyfingers (from one 7-ounce/200-gram package)
1 to 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, for shaving (optional)

Steps:

  • Using an electric mixer in a medium bowl, whip together egg yolks and 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar until very pale yellow and about tripled in volume. A slight ribbon should fall from the beaters (or whisk attachment) when lifted from the bowl. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, wiping out the medium bowl used to whip the yolks and set aside.
  • In the medium bowl, whip cream and remaining 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar until it creates soft-medium peaks. Add mascarpone and continue to whip until it creates a soft, spreadable mixture with medium peaks. Gently fold the mascarpone mixture into the sweetened egg yolks until combined.
  • Combine espresso and rum in a shallow bowl and set aside.
  • Using a sifter, dust the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish (an 8x8-inch dish, or a 9-inch round cake pan would also work here) with 1 tablespoon cocoa powder.
  • Working one at a time, quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture -- they are quite porous and will fall apart if left in the liquid too long -- and place them rounded side up at the bottom of the baking dish. Repeat, using half the ladyfingers, until you've got an even layer, breaking the ladyfingers in half as needed to fill in any obvious gaps (a little space in between is O.K.). Spread half the mascarpone mixture onto the ladyfingers in one even layer. Repeat with remaining espresso-dipped ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
  • Dust top layer with remaining tablespoon of cocoa powder. Top with shaved or finely grated chocolate, if desired.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (if you can wait 24 hours, all the better) before slicing or scooping to serve.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Espresso syrup:
1 1/2 cups espresso or strong coffee
1/4 cup sugar
Tiramasù:
1 3/4 cups mascarpone cheese, divided
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
4 large egg yolks
1 cup chilled heavy whipping cream, divided
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (do not exceed 61% cacao), chopped, plus more for shaving
About 48 soft ladyfingers

Steps:

  • For espresso syrup:
  • Stir espresso and sugar in a small bowl until sugar dissolves; set aside.
  • For tiramasù:
  • Combine 1 cup mascarpone, 2 tablespoons sugar, and vanilla in a small bowl and whisk to blend; cover and chill.
  • Place 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over. Let stand until gelatin softens, 10-15 minutes. Whisk the remaining sugar, yolks, 1/4 cup cream, and 1/4 cup water in a medium metal bowl to blend. Place bowl over a large saucepan of boiling water (do not let bottom of bowl touch water) and whisk constantly until custard thickens and temperature reaches 160° on an instant-read thermometer, 3-4 minutes. Remove bowl; add gelatin mixture and whisk until dissolved, 15-20 seconds. Return bowl over water, add chocolate, and whisk until almost melted, about 30 seconds.
  • Set bowl in a large bowl of ice water and whisk until chocolate is melted and custard is cool, 5-6 minutes. Whisk in the remaining mascarpone. In another medium bowl, beat remaining 3/4 cup chilled cream until firm peaks form. Fold cream into custard in 2 additions to make a chocolate mousse.
  • Spread 1/4 cup chocolate mousse in bottom of each of eight 1-cup teacups or ramekins. Dunk ladyfingers in the espresso syrup and arrange in a single layer on top of the mousse, about 2 to 3 ladyfingers per cup. Repeat layering with chocolate mousse and soaked ladyfingers. Spread 2 tablespoons mascarpone topping over ladyfingers. Garnish with chocolate shavings and serve.

EASIEST CHOCOLATE SWIRL TIRAMISU RECIPE



Easiest Chocolate Swirl Tiramisu Recipe image

This cheat's tiramisu is so easy and delicious (perfect for stress-free entertaining!). Pretty much anything with coffee in it usually gets my vote!

Provided by Donna Hay

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup whipping cream
½ cup mascarpone
¼ cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 ½ ounces dark chocolate, melted
2 tablespoons espresso, cooled
2 tablespoons coffee liqueur
12 small store-bought ladyfingers

Steps:

  • Place the cream, mascarpone, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Set aside. Place the chocolate, coffee and liqueur in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Swirl the chocolate mixture through the cream mixture. Divide the mixture among 4 (1-cup) glasses and serve with the ladyfingers.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the coffee and chocolate. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of the tiramisu.
  • Make sure the ladyfingers are fresh and soft. If they are too hard, they will not absorb the coffee mixture properly.
  • Don't overbeat the mascarpone cheese. If you do, it will become too runny and the tiramisu will not set properly.
  • Let the tiramisu chill for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set properly.
  • Garnish the tiramisu with cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries before serving.

Conclusion:

This chocolate espresso tiramisu is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts. With its rich chocolate flavor, creamy mascarpone filling, and coffee-soaked ladyfingers, this tiramisu is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
