Categories     Chocolate     Citrus     Dairy     Dessert     No-Cook     Valentine's Day     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

15 ladyfingers
1 cup good strong coffee, freshly brewed
4 tablespoons sugar
1 pound 2 ounces mascarpone
2 vanilla beans
1/2 cup vin santo or sweet sherry
Zest and juice of 1 orange
3 1/2 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate (70 % cocoa solids)

Steps:

  • Get yourself a medium deep bowl or dish about 8-10 inches in diameter and arrange your ladyfingers snugly in layers on top of each other. Sweeten your coffee with 2 tablespoons of the sugar. Pour the coffee over the ladyfingers, making sure the top layer is completely covered - you'll see the coffee being sucked up by the ladyfinger. While that's soaking, put your mascarpone into a bowl and whisk it up with the rest of the sugar.
  • Score the vanilla beans lengthwise and scrape the seeds out into the bowl of mascarpone, keeping the beans for making vanilla sugar if you want to. Continue whisking and as you do so, drizzle in the vin santo or sherry. You want to get the mixture to a loose, shiny consistency. If it's still too thick you can use a little of the orange juice to loosen it before you squeeze the rest of the juice over the ladyfingers. Smear the vanilla mascarpone over the ladyfingers and either grate all the chocolate over it or make shavings using a knife or a peeler. Sprinkle lightly with a little finely grated orange zest and keep in the fridge until you're ready to serve.

QUICK CHOCOLATE COFFEE TORTE (AKA FAKE TIRAMISU)



Quick Chocolate Coffee Torte (Aka Fake Tiramisu) image

I wanted to try my mom's homemade kahlua in a dessert, but honestly didn't expect it to come out. Now it's a family favorite!

Provided by tim_cat

Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (1 lb) poundcake
1 cup coffee liqueur
1 (4 ounce) box instant pudding mix (I recommend Jello)
2 cups milk, cold
1 tablespoon Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur
2 cups graham crackers, crushed
2 cups ginger snaps, crushed

Steps:

  • Gather all ingredients! This recipe goes so quickly that you really need everything within arm's reach.
  • If your poundcake comes from the freezer aisle, go ahead and defrost it according to the package.
  • Cut poundcake into 1"-2" cubes.
  • Set poundcake cubes on a plate or in a bowl and drench with that coffee liqueur! (I typically use more than 1 cup, but adjust according to taste).
  • While poundcake is getting drunk, take this time to make that box of instant pudding mix. Just like the package says, stir the mix into 2 cups cold water with a wire wisk.
  • Now, as the pudding begins to set, I like to add the dutch process cocoa (any unflavored cocoa powder will work), and then the amaretto. If you add the amaretto, MAKE SURE you don't add it directly to the milk--the alcohol might curdle the milk!
  • Set your setting pudding aside to set, and mix the graham crackers and ginger snaps. I use a food processor for this, but a blender or even a meat tenderizer and a plastic bag will work. (at this point I also check the poundcake and add a little more liqueur if it looks dry).
  • Now for that last beautiful step! Line the bottom of a casserole (a large bowl also works) with half of the cookie crumbs. Pour/spoon/scoop half of your pudding in over the cookie crumbs and carefully spread to cover the crumbs. Place (or dump) your poundcake into the casserole, making sure to press it down into the pudding. Don't be afraid to leave out whatever doesn't fit, or to tear the poundcake cubes in half to fill up gaps. Cover the poundcake with the rest of your pudding, spread it nicely, and finish with the rest of the crumbs, also spread nicely. You're done!
  • Now cover and refrigerate for at least three hours before serving. This gives the alcohol time to disperse within your torte, and lets the pudding get nice and firm.
  • Enjoy with friends and family!
  • Take an aspirin with a glass of water and call me in the morning. Hey, this stuff's pretty potent! ^_^.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially coffee and mascarpone cheese.
  • Make sure the coffee is strong and flavorful.
  • Don't overbeat the mascarpone cheese or it will become grainy.
  • Use a springform pan to make it easier to remove the tiramisu from the pan.
  • Chill the tiramisu for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
  • Dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder before serving.

Conclusion:

Whether you are a seasoned baker or just starting out, this easy tiramisu recipe is sure to impress. With its creamy, coffee-flavored filling and delicate ladyfingers, this classic Italian dessert is perfect for any occasion. Just be sure to make it ahead of time so it has time to chill.
