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.

This tiramisu was a disaster. The ladyfingers were hard and the mascarpone filling was curdled. I threw the whole thing away.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tiramisu didn't turn out. The ladyfingers were too soggy and the mascarpone filling was too runny.

This tiramisu was a bit bland. I think I would have liked it more if it had more chocolate flavor.

I had a hard time finding ladyfingers, but I finally found them at a specialty grocery store. The tiramisu turned out great, but it was a bit pricey to make.

This tiramisu was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try making it with less sugar next time.

I love how this tiramisu is not too sweet. The chocolate flavor is rich and dark, and the ladyfingers are perfectly soaked in espresso.

This tiramisu was a delightful treat! The combination of chocolate and coffee flavors was perfect, and the ladyfingers were soft and soaked in just the right amount of espresso. I topped mine with a dusting of cocoa powder, and it looked as good as i
