Chocolaty Tiramisu

Chocolaty Tiramisu

This classic dessert showcases Italian ingenuity at its most delicious. This Chocolaty Tiramisu boasts everything you love about the iconic Italian dessert—layers of moist, espresso-soaked ladyfingers sandwiched with rich, airy mascarpone cream—but with an added layer of luscious chocolate ganache. Whipping egg whites to stiff peaks before gently folding them into a whipped mixture of sugar, egg yolks, and mascarpone gave the classic, mildly sweet cheese filling a heavenly lightness. Briefly rolling the ladyfingers (rather than submerging them) in a potent mixture of coffee, espresso powder, and dark rum ensured that they turned perfectly tender and cake-like rather than soggy and were exceptionally flavorful. Using a 1:1 ratio of cream to chocolate for the ganache resulted in a soft, creamy texture even after chilling. This twist is sure to please tiramisu purists and chocolate lovers alike.
