Ingredients:

Mascarpone Cream:

300g mascarpone
2 egg yolks
45g sugar
250g heavy cream

Gelatin Mixture:

15g hot milk
5g gelatin sheets

Coffee Syrup:

150g coffee liquid
20g sugar

Chocolate Coating:

300g chocolate (dark or milk, depending on preference)
90g coconut oil
75g crushed nuts (optional, for extra crunch)

Additional:

Ladyfingers (enough to fill your container)
Unsweetened cocoa powder (for garnish)

Instructions:

Prepare the Mascarpone Cream:

In a bowl, mix 300g of mascarpone cheese until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 egg yolks and 45g sugar until thick and creamy.
Add this egg mixture to the mascarpone and mix well.
Whip 250g of heavy cream until stiff peaks form and then gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture.

Prepare the Gelatin:

Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water to soften.
Then, in a small bowl, combine 15g of hot milk with the softened gelatin sheets. Stir the mixture until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Add the gelatin mixture to the mascarpone cream and mix thoroughly. Set aside.

Make the Coffee Syrup:

In a separate bowl, combine 150g of coffee liquid and 20g of sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Assemble the Tiramisu:

In a serving dish (or individual cups), pipe a layer of the mascarpone cream at the bottom.
Quickly dip the ladyfingers into the coffee syrup (don’t soak them too long!) and place them on top of the mascarpone cream.
Pipe another layer of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
Repeat the layers, alternating between the cream and dipped ladyfingers, until the container is filled.

Freeze:

Once assembled, place the tiramisu in the fridge (or freezer for quicker setting) and let it chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to firm up and set.

Prepare the Chocolate Coating:

Melt 300g of chocolate and 90g of coconut oil over a double boiler or in the microwave.
Once melted, add 75g of crushed nuts if you’re using them. Stir well until everything is combined.

Coat the Tiramisu:

Once the tiramisu has set, pour the melted chocolate mixture over the top, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
Sprinkle a generous amount of unsweetened cocoa powder on top for that extra chocolatey touch.

Serve:

Allow the chocolate coating to set for a few minutes. Serve chilled and enjoy every indulgent bite!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this tiramisu without eggs?
Yes! You can make an egg-free version by substituting the egg yolks with an additional 100g of mascarpone and 1 tsp of vanilla extract for flavor.
How long will this chocolate tiramisu last?
The tiramisu can be stored in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. It’s best enjoyed within the first two days for the freshest texture!
Can I use a different type of alcohol in the recipe?
Traditionally, tiramisu includes a splash of Marsala wine or coffee liqueur, but this recipe is alcohol-free. However, you could add a tablespoon of liqueur to the coffee syrup for an added depth of flavor.
