easy chocolate tiramisu

The easiest, creamiest Chocolate Tiramisu which takes only 20 minutes of work and 7 ingredients to make

Easy Chocolate Tiramisu

heavy cream (3/4 cup)

dark or semi sweet chocolate

cups heavy whipping cream, chilled (600 grams)

sugar (110 grams)

vanilla

~30-35 ladyfingers

1 1/2 cups espresso (or strong coffee)

tbsp cocoa powder, + more for dusting

Bring the heavy cream to a boil in a saucepan, then pour over the chocolate in a heat-safe bowl

Cover for 5 minutes, then stir until the chocolate melts and a smooth, shiny ganache forms

Ganache:

Whisk the chilled heavy cream, sugar and vanilla in a bowl until the cream becomes thick

Add the mascarpone cheese in 2-3 additions and mix on low speed until combined. Adjust the amount of mascarpone cheese based on your preference of taste and thickness

Mascarpone cream:

Mix the cocoa powder in the cooled espresso (or strong coffee) and place in a deep plate

Dip the ladyfingers into the espresso one at a time, for ~2 seconds per side, and arrange tightly in the bottom of a 9x9" pan / dish

Cover with half of the mascarpone cream and spread using an offset spatula

Pour over half of the ganache and spread it

Repeat the process, creating another layer of ladyfingers, mascarpone cream and ganache

Cover and place the Chocolate Tiramisu in the fridge for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight

Dust with more cocoa powder right before serving

Assembly:

Just finished putting this together.  Fabulous! 
Can't wait to try it in 2 days &amp; hope my Italian partner likes it. 
Will tag in FB in 2 days. ☺️?

This is so good and so easy! 
I’ve made this 3x already.. and it’s always been a hit!  It is very light and just the right amount of sweetness. 
We like the regular tiramisu, but this will now be one of our staple dessert when we have gatherings.  We love it cause it’s chocolate! yum!

Thank you for sharing this very yummy dessert … I am so thankful for the recipes that you develop and share to us.

Super delicious and easy to make! The chocolate ganache was a perfect addition and added richness to the dessert. I made it in a 8" dish and it worked out just fine. Everyone loved it and I'll definitely be making it again! Thank you Zoha for sharing this :)

This is hands down the best Tiramisu that I have made or tasted. I served it in small cups and my guests thought it was professionally made. Thank you, Zoha!

This was easy to make and a delcious hit with family and friends! Thank you for sharing!

I made this today and it was delicious. I used 9 ounces of mascarpone and 35 ladyfingers. I needed like 12oz of espresso and two 9x9 pans lmao but I was not upset at having more. 

My ladyfingers are two layers deep per pan. 

Super easy to make! I made zero alterations. Thank you

Zoha, this recipe is the one!!! I keep making it again and again - so incredibly easy and delicious

This is a great original recipe! I'm no baker but I've been trying zoha's baking for a while including this one. I made this yesterday and it was all gone in hours. This recipe was so easy to follow. I feel confident in trying her recipes because of its uniqueness and simplicity.

Amazing, so simple, so delicious and unbelievably the yummiest thing I have made in awhile!! Thank you Zoha :)!

I went to Italy and tried tiramisu every where I went - it's my favorite dessert. recently tried it from an authentic Italian restaurant and noticed they used the ganache, so I was THRILLED to find this recipe for it.  I don't say this lightly - this is the best tiramisu I've ever had!

I tried this recipe and oh my!  Absolutely delicious!  Very easy to make, especially thanks to the additional tips.

I will be adding this to my recipe book, thank you! ☺️

Such a great recipe! All the ingredients are perfectly mentioned and it turned out to be the best desert I have ever made! Thank you Zoha :)

Hi Zoha, just want to say, I just tried your recipe yesterday for an office party. and it's was a hit. it was the best tiramisu I ever had. the espresso enhanced the chocolate flavour and make it very decadent. I made two version, the first one I soak the ladyfingers in chocolate milk (2 of my colleagues is pregnant) and the other I follow your recipe to a T. the espresso enhanced the chocolate flavour and make it very decadent. thank you for the recipe.

Okay, WOW! This was phenomenal - rich, chocolatey, and not too sweet. It's a crowd pleaser for sure. I don't think I'll ever make tiramisu without chocolate ever again. A couple things I modified: I used GF ladyfingers (Schar brand), so I needed to up the espresso to 2 cups. I also added a shot of rum to the espresso, by preference. For the cream layer, I opted for 8 oz. cream cheese over mascarpone because that's what I had on hand. I've used both in the past and personally can't tell much of a difference. But if you do go the cream cheese route, I'd recommend whipping it for awhile before adding in the heavy cream to reduce clumps. I ended up with more of the cream layer than I could fit into the dish, but will keep it for something else!

I've been making your dessert recipes all week! All super delcious and easy to make. My family loved this recipe! thank youuu for sharing your recipes with us!

Thank you so much Zona. I just used this recipe for a school project and it worked out so well.

This is the absolute best tiramisu, all of my guests agree and are always so impressed
I am not fond of coffee in desserts and therefore use hot chocolate instead.
Also found that this fits in my 9x11.5 Pyrex dish better, since there seems to be so much more filling, likely due to the following:
Weighing ingredients seemed to yield more than measuring.
The Bella Casara  Mascarpone (Quality Canadian Cheese) container holds 475 g or 16.7 oz.
I’ve been using the Milano Giant Lady fingers since it was all I could find, but will look for the smaller ones you use.  I can see they would fit better.  I used 2.5 pkgs, appx. 30.
I used Lindt or PC 75-85% dark chocolate bars. 
My go to dessert now, especially if I’m making an Italian theme dinner.

Super easy to make and assemble. Made tiramisu for the first time using this recipe, everyone loved it! 
Didn’t have espresso so used instant coffee, about 8 tsp for 1.5-2cups. 
Also, it tastes even better after 24 hours in the fridge, trust me, the flavour just marry together soo well after a day. 
Thank you Zoha, as usual, reliably lovely and detailed recipes!
