Ingredients For 6 Servings:

  • 20 ladyfingers (biscuits à la cuillère)
  • 100g of dark chocolate
  • Cocoa powder
  • Sliced almonds
  • 6 tablespoons of Amaretto or Marsala
  • 6 cups of very strong cold espresso coffee
  • 250g of sugar + 1 tablespoon
  • 500g of mascarpone
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 6 eggs

How to Make Dark Chocolate Tiramisu:

1. Egg Yolk and Mascarpone Mixture:

  • Break the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the yolks and powdered sugar until the mixture becomes pale and creamy.
  • Gently fold in the mascarpone until well combined.
  • Place the mixture in the refrigerator to chill.

2. Whipping the Egg Whites:

  • In a clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt.
  • As the whites begin to form peaks, gradually add the tablespoon of sugar.
  • Continue whipping until you achieve a firm meringue consistency.

3. Combining the Mixtures:

  • Take a large spoonful of the whipped egg whites and gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture to lighten it.
  • Gradually fold in the remaining egg whites, ensuring you maintain the airy texture.
  • Place the combined mixture back in the refrigerator.

4. Preparing the Coffee Mixture:

  • In a shallow dish, combine the cold espresso coffee with the Amaretto or Marsala.
  • Quickly dip 8 ladyfingers into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy.
  • Cut the moistened ladyfingers in half and arrange them at the bottom of your serving dishes.
  • Grate a generous amount of dark chocolate over the ladyfingers and then sift a layer of cocoa powder over the top.

5. Layering the Dessert:

  • Spread half of the mascarpone and egg mixture over the ladyfingers.
  • Repeat the process of dipping the remaining ladyfingers in coffee, placing them over the mascarpone layer, and adding another layer of grated chocolate and cocoa powder.
  • Finish by spreading the remaining mascarpone mixture on top.

6. Chilling and Serving:

  • Cover the dishes and place them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
  • Before serving, you can garnish with additional grated chocolate, cocoa powder, or sliced almonds if desired.
