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.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The tiramisu was too sweet and the texture was too dense.

This tiramisu was a bit too boozy for my taste. I would recommend using less Kahlua next time.

I'm not a big fan of coffee, but I loved this tiramisu! The chocolate flavor was really strong and the coffee flavor was very subtle.

The tiramisu turned out great, but I had to make a few adjustments to the recipe. I used less sugar and more cocoa powder, and I also added a bit of espresso powder to the coffee mixture.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There were too many steps and I ended up with a mess.
