TIRAMUSU 

(Chocolate Tiramisu) 

 

 

Ingredients

6 tablespoons of drinking chocolate 

300ml semi skimmed milk 

300ml whipping cream 

250g tub of mascarpone cheese 

3 tablespoons of caster sugar 

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 

20 Savoiardi (sponge fingers)

 4 chocolate flakes 

Method

• Melt the chocolate in a medium size saucepan with the milk. Stir occasionally; pour into a bowl and leave to cool.

• In a large bowl, whisk the cream until soft peaks form. Add in the mascarpone, sugar and vanilla extract and whisk for a further 10 seconds until all combined.

• Make sure you have 4 dessert glasses, approx 8cm diameter and 6cm deep.

• Dip 8 sponge fingers into the chocolate milk for 2 seconds on each side and place 2 fingers on the base of each dessert glasses. (Break the fingers to make sure that the bottom of the glass is covered).

• Divide half of the mascarpone cream between the glasses over the chocolate fingers.

• Dip the remaining sponge fingers in the chocolate and this time place 3 on top of the mascarpone

• Add the remaining marscapone.

• Decorate with chocolate flake sprinkles.

• Chill for 2 hours in the refrigerator.

* To make the classic coffee Tiramisu, dip the sponge fingers in espresso rather than chocolate!
