Ingredients:
Mascarpone Cream:
- 500g mascarpone
- 100g sugar
- 3 eggs
- Ladyfingers (Savoiardi biscuits)
Chocolate Ganache:
- 180g heavy cream (30% fat)
- 160g dark chocolate
- For the Chocolate Ganache: Heat the cream in a saucepan until it reaches a boil. Pour over the dark chocolate, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture becomes a smooth, shiny ganache.
- For the Mascarpone Cream: In Bowl 1, whisk egg yolks with sugar until light and fluffy. Add mascarpone and whisk again until smooth. In Bowl 2, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture to create a light and airy cream.
Assembly:
- Quickly dip ladyfingers into milk or coffee and lay them in the bottom of your dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
- Pour some ganache over the cream and spread evenly.
- Create another layer with dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone cream and ganache.
- Cover and refrigerate the chocolate tiramisu for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
