When I started this post this morning, my husband and I had no idea of the news we would hear later in the day. A good friend of ours past away this morning from a motorcycle accident in Athens. This post is dedicated to George….:( Rest in Peace.

Hiiii, I have made this Chocolate Tiramisu many times before, and what I like about it is that it is different from the usual Italian version. Not that I don’t love that version don’t get me wrong I love Tiramisu, this one just differs in the base. It is made with semi sweet chocolate, espresso and coffee liqueur. Nice combination right! 🙂 Even though I am not a big lover of chocolate, like I have mentioned before…I do enjoy a piece of this tiramisu once in a while…:)

I tend to make this recipe in a bowl and not in a baking pan. (you can choose which ever you prefer) What I usual do is a have a large serving spoon, and just serve it this way. I hope you enjoy this recipe!!

Ingredients

  1. Chocolate Base:
  2. 500 gramssemi sweet chocolate
  3. 300 ml.whip cream
  4. 125 mlstrong Espresso, or strong filtered coffee
  5. 250 gramslady fingers
  6. Tiramisu filling:
  7. 500 gramsMascarpone Cheese
  8. 500 ml.whip cream
  9. 50 mlCoffee Liqueur
  10. 100 gramsCocoa for topping

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Add 300 ml. of heavy cream along with the espresso or strong filtered coffee into a sauce pan. Keep in mind do not bring this to a boil, let it simmer and stir until you see the first bubbles.

  2. 2

    Pour the espresso cream mix into the semi-sweet chocolate and stir with a spoon or fork until the chocolate starts to melt.

  3. 3

    Once the chocolate has melted start to whip.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl add in the lady fingers and pour in the chocolate mix. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about an 1 hour, so that the chocolate base can cool.

  5. 5

    While the chocolate base is cooling off in the refrigerator, you can work on the Tiramisu filling. In a large bowl, add the Mascarpone cheese and the coffee liqueur and mix. (I use Tia Maria as the coffee liqueur) Mix both ingredients together until it is a smooth base.

  6. 6

    Add whip cream into mascarpone mix and whip for a few minutes. Now, as far as I am concerned in regards to making whip cream, not really good at it. 😦 I have tried many times to do it but it just doesn’t work out. Soooo, I buy ready made whip cream. 🙂

  7. 7

    Plastic Cone Bag

  8. 8

    This little trick helps place the whip cream into the plastic cone bag. Take a large glass place in the plastic cone and fill it in. 🙂

  9. 9

    Spread whip cream and top off with Cocoa 🙂 Kali Orexi!!!!
