If you’re a chocolate fan and want a delicious alternative to the classic tiramisu, this recipe is perfect. In addition to being simple to make, it offers an explosion of flavor with every spoonful. Let’s learn how to prepare this chocolate tiramisu step by step.

Ingredients:

For the chocolate cream:
- 200g of semisweet or milk chocolate (depending on your preference)
- 300g mascarpone (creamy cheese typical of tiramisu)
- 200ml fresh cream (or regular cream)
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
For assembly:
- 200g of “ladyfinger” biscuits (champagne biscuits)
- 1 cup of strong coffee (can be espresso)
- 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur or rum (optional)
- Cocoa powder or chocolate sprinkles for decoration
- Semisweet or milk chocolate for shavings or chunks (optional)

Directions:

1. Preparing the Chocolate Cream:

Melt the chocolate: Start by melting the semisweet or milk chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent burning. Set aside to cool slightly.
Make the egg yolk cream: In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture is light and foamy.
Prepare the mascarpone cream: In another bowl, mix the mascarpone with the vanilla essence until it becomes creamy.
Combine the creams: Add the melted chocolate (already warm) to the mascarpone mixture and then gently fold in the egg yolk cream until smooth. If necessary, beat with a whisk or spatula to make the mixture more aerated.
Add the cream: Add the fresh cream to the mixture and stir until the cream is thick and creamy.

2. Assembling the Chocolate Tiramisu:

Prepare the coffee: Prepare strong coffee and let it cool. If you prefer, add coffee liqueur or rum for a special touch.
Soak the cookies: Quickly dip the ladyfinger cookies in the coffee (don't let the cookies get too wet or they may fall apart). Do this one layer at a time.
Layers of cream: In a serving dish or individual glasses, make the first layer of biscuits soaked in coffee. Then spread a generous layer of chocolate cream on top.
Repeat the process: Continue alternating layers of cookies and cream, finishing with a layer of chocolate cream.

3. Finishing the Dessert:

Decoration: Cover the tiramisu with a layer of sifted cocoa powder or chocolate sprinkles. If you prefer, add chocolate shavings to make the dessert even more sophisticated.
Refrigeration: Refrigerate the chocolate tiramisu for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight. This helps the flavors to combine and makes the tiramisu firmer.

4. Serving:

Serve chilled, carefully removing from the dish or dividing into individual portions. The chocolate tiramisu has a creamy texture on the inside, but with a delicate crunch from the biscuit layer, making each bite a true flavor experience.

Tips:

Chocolate: The type of chocolate you choose will make all the difference in the flavor of your tiramisu. Dark chocolate provides a delicious contrast to the sweet flavor of the dessert, while milk chocolate provides a smoother experience.
Liquor: The coffee liqueur or rum is optional, but it adds a touch of sophistication. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, you can omit it or replace it with coffee essence.
Storage: Chocolate tiramisu can be stored for up to 3 days in the refrigerator, maintaining its creamy texture and flavor.
