Ingredients
FOR THE CLASSIC CHOCOLATE TIRAMISU
- 1½ cups chocolate pastry cream*
- ½ cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup cream heavy/whole or whipping cream (optional)
*Chocolate Pastry Cream
- 16 -24 ladyfingers (more or less)
- ¼-½ cup coffee or chocolate milk
- 3-4 tablespoons chocolate shavings for decorating (or unsweetened cocoa dutch processed powder)
FOR CHOCOLATE TIRAMISU PARFAIT
- 10 lady fingers (more or less)
- ¼ cup coffee or chocolate milk
- 1½-2 cups cream heavy/whole or whipping cream
- 3-4 tablespoons chocolate shavings for decorating (or unsweetened cocoa dutch processed powder)
Instructions
TO MAKE BOTH PAN AND PARFAIT TIRAMISU
- Make Italian Chocolate Pastry Cream early in the morning and let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Remove it from the fridge and give it a whisk or use an electric mixer to bring back the creaminess, then gently fold in a little mascarpone at a time until smooth. If the mixture is too thick then add a small amount of fresh cream.
- If making a layer with whipped cream then whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
- Place the coffee or chocolate milk in a shallow dish.
FOR PAN CHOCOLATE TIRAMISU
- In a baking dish approximately 8x6 inches (21x16cm) place lady fingers that have been dipped but not soaked in the coffee in a single row, Top with some pastry cream, the amount depends on if you want two or three layers. So use either half or one third.
- If you want it even richer, then add a layer of whipped cream on top of the pastry cream. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or even better over night. Top with chocolate shavings or dust with cocoa powder before serving. Enjoy!
FOR CHOCOLATE TIRAMISU PARFAIT
- To make a Tiramisu parfait, repeat as above for the pastry cream and mascarpone. Whip the cream until stiff peaks appear.
- Use four medium sized glasses, on the bottom of every glass spoon some pastry cream, then a dipped halved lady finger cookie, top with some whipped cream, continue with the layers, pastry cream, dipped lady finger and whipped cream.
- Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or even overnight. Garnish with chocolate shavings or dust with unsweetened cocoa powder before serving.
Notes
- Using a vegetable peeler is an easy way to make chocolate shavings.
- You can add alcohol to the recipe, I would suggest a tablespoon or two, such as baileys, brandy, dark rum, a coffee liqueur or even a teaspoon of vanilla extract if you prefer will work. I would suggest adding it with the mascarpone.
- The Italian dessert should be kept in the fridge in an airtight container or well covered with plastic wrap, it will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge. Because it container pastry cream, I don’t really suggest freezing.
