CHOCOLATE TIRAMISU CUPS

  • 120 ml strong black coffee
  • 1 tablespoon Amaretto optional
  • 50 g semi-sweet dark chocolate
  • 250 g mascarpone cheese
  • 35 g powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoon dutch processed cocoa powder + extra for dusting
  • 1 tablespoon agave or honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 250 ml heavy cream
  • 8 ladyfinger

Instructions
 

  • Start by brewing the coffee for the ladyfingers. Pour it into a shallow bowl and optionally mix in Amaretto. While preparing the rest, let it cool down on the kitchen counter.
    120 ml strong black coffee, 1 tablespoon Amaretto
  • Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler. Once fully melted, pour in 30 ml (2 tbsp) of the heavy cream and stir until combined.
    50 g semi-sweet dark chocolate
  • In a separate bowl, add mascarpone, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, agave, and vanilla extract and with an electric hand mixer, mix until combined.
    250 g mascarpone cheese, 35 g powdered sugar, 2 tablespoon dutch processed cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon agave or honey
  • Add the chocolate ganache and mix it in. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and give it another mix to make sure everything is combined.
  • Then add the remaining 220 ml of heavy cream and whisk it until it can hold a medium-stiff peak.
    250 ml heavy cream
  • Add the mascarpone cream to a piping bag and cut a large hole in the bottom.
  • Pipe a thin layer of cream in the bottom of 4 glasses. Break 4 layer ladyfingers in half so they fit the cups. Then dip the ladyfingers into the coffee twice on each side. Lay two half lady fingers in each cup. Pipe another layer of cream on top of the ladyfingers and repeat the process one more time.
    8 ladyfinger
  • Use an off-set spatula or pallet knife to flatten out the mascarpone cream. Cover each cup with plastic wrap and place them in the fridge for a minimum of 8 hours or preferably overnight.
  • Once ready to serve, let them sit at room temperature for 5-15 minutes for the cream to soften slightly and become light and airy. Straight out the fridge the mascarpone cream will feel a bit firm, because of the chocolate in the mascarpone cream.
  • Dust them with cocoa powder right before serving and they are ready to be enjoyed.
