Preparation

How to prepare Chocolate cream tiramisu

To prepare the chocolate tiramisu, start by melting the dark chocolate: chop it finely 1, then melt it using a double boiler, being careful not to let water come into contact with the chocolate 2 (alternatively, you can melt it in the microwave, stopping to stir every 2-3 minutes until it's fully melted). Stir to ensure it's completely melted 3 and once done, transfer it to a bowl and let it cool.

Meanwhile, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites 4 and add the sugar 5 to the yolks, then whisk with an electric mixer to create a frothy and light mixture 6. You can use the remaining egg whites to prepare delicious meringues or ladyfingers.

Work the mascarpone cheese with beaters, then add it to the mixture of whipped eggs and sugar 7, mix again with the beaters to obtain a dense cream 8. When the chocolate has cooled down, add it to the cream 9.

When the cream is ready 10, put it in the refrigerator while you continue with the preparation. Prepare the coffee with the moka and pour it into a low and wide bowl 11; dissolve the sugar inside 12 (if you prefer, you can omit it) and let it cool down.

Split each ladyfinger in half and dip it in coffee on both sides 13, then place two halves at the base of the glass 14 and pour in the chocolate mascarpone cream 15; you can also use a disposable pastry bag to create layers of cream. Continue by dusting with unsweetened cocoa powder, then add another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and cream.

Once ready 16, you can dust with some unsweetened cocoa powder 17 and serve your chocolate tiramisu 18!
