Chocolate tiramisu

For about three straight years during the early 2010's, my go-to Christmas gift for close friends and family was homemade tiramisu. They were pretty elaborate things fit for the season, courtesy a recipe from Anna Olson. For this Christmas, I decided to revisit tiramisu, but because it's only for ourselves I pared it way down. I also bumped up the chocolate content, for my wife and daughter. No surprise, they loved it.

Ingredient

Cooking time :

20 minutes

450 g

mascarpone cheese

4 tbsp

confectioners sugar

100 g

dark (70%) chocolate

1/4 cup

single cream

2 cups

whipping cream

1 tsp

vanilla extract

6 tbsp

granulated sugar

1/4 cup

brandy

2 cups

strong brewed coffee

1 pkg

ladyfingers biscuits (14 to 16 total)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Pull the mascarpone from the fridge about 30 minutes in advance, to let it come to room temperature and soften. Whisk in the confectioners sugar.

* Step 2

Crumble the chocolate into a glass bowl and pour in the single cream. Microwave in 15 second bursts until the chocolate just starts to melt. Whisk until fully melted and smooth. Add a pinch of salt and whisk once more.

* Step 3

Fold the melted chocolate into the mascarpone until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate, but pull out 10 minutes before assembly to resoften.

* Step 4

Add the whipping cream and vanilla to a large metal or glass bowl and whip to soft peaks. Add half of the granulated sugar and continue whipping to medium peaks. Cover and refrigerate until assembly.

* Step 5

Stir the brandy and remaining granulated sugar into the coffee and let cool to room temperature.

* Step 6

Dipping the ladyfingers quickly (no more than 2 seconds) into the coffee mixture, use half the biscuits to line the bottom of a 20 x 25 cm baking dish. Spread the mascarpone chocolate on top and smooth it out. Create a second layer of dipped ladyfingers, then cover with the whipped cream. Smooth the surface, then dust with a little cocoa powder. Add chocolate sprinkles and shavings as desired. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
