  • Total Time: 20 minutes + chilling
  • Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 8 oz of mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 cup of strong brewed coffee (cooled)
  • 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
  • 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Ladyfingers or sponge cake layers
  • Optional: dark chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the melted chocolate chips and set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mascarpone mixture for a light, airy texture.
  3. Dip the ladyfingers briefly into the cooled coffee, then layer them in a glass dish or individual cups. Spread a layer of the chocolate mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat the layers until the dish is filled, finishing with a layer of the mascarpone cream.
  4. Dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings if desired. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to set and develop full flavor.

Notes

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for a richer flavor.
  • If you prefer a less sweet tiramisu, reduce the powdered sugar amount.
  • Garnish with fresh berries or whipped cream for added elegance.
