    mocha tiramisu with Lavazza Coffee

    Mar 25, 2015 · 16 Comments

    mocha tiramisu with Lavazza Coffee | The Baking Fairy You guys! I am seriously beyond thrilled to announce that I am the latest brand ambassador for Lavazza Coffee! Lavazza is Italy's most popular coffee brand, so being chosen as a representative is a huge honor! As y'all know, I'm full-blooded Italian {and I'm also a college student}, so coffee for me is basically its own food group. To kick things off, I whipped up this incredibly delicious Mocha Tiramisu. I based it off of my mom's fantastic recipe, but decided to make things a little richer by swapping the regular vanilla cream with a chocolate mascarpone concoction. I'm a firm believer that if a little chocolate is good, a lot of chocolate is great! This dessert combines espresso-soaked ladyfingers, freshly whipped cream, and cocoa-mascarpone cream to create a treat that's rich and satisfying while still being incredibly light.

    Β I knew I needed a coffee with a strong, potent flavor if I wanted the mocha flavor to shine through the chocolate cream, so I chose to use Lavazza's Perfetto Espresso Roast. This roast is dark and flavorful, with a smooth velvety feel. I knew it would be perfect to offset the sugary ladyfinger cookies and rich creamy filling! To add onto the fun, I decided to make homemade mascarpone cheese for this particular batch of tiramisu...because I'm a crazy person. Just kidding! It was actually extremely easy, and you can find the super simple recipe I used right here. If you're not quite as insane as I am, store-bought mascarpone will work perfectly well.

    Author: Valentina | The Baking Fairy
    Recipe type: Puddings & Trifles
    Cuisine: Italian
    Serves: 12 servings
    Ingredients
    • 3 dozen crisp ladyfinger cookies (Savoiardi)
    • 8 oz. (1 small container) mascarpone cheese, homemade or store-bought
    • 2 egg yolks
    • 2 cups Lavazza Perfetto Espresso Coffee with 2 teaspoon sugar, at room temperature
    • ½ cup (150 gr) white sugar
    • 2 tablespoon Marsala or Rum, or pure vanilla extract
    • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
    • 4-5 tablespoon cocoa powder
    • 1 oz dark chocolate, grated
    Instructions
    1. First, brew the Lavazza coffee so that it has time to cool to room temperature.
    2. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and light. Add in the alcohol or vanilla extract, and beat well. Add in the mascarpone cheese, and mix until no lumps remain.
    3. In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the whipping cream until fluffy and stiff.
    4. Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the egg and mascarpone mixture, being careful to not overmix.
    5. When mixture is smooth and well incorporated, add in the cocoa, 1-2 tablespoon at a time, until no lumps of cocoa appear.
    6. Grab a large serving dish, and place one layer of ladyfingers in it. Feel free to trim the cookies to fit! Using a spoon, thoroughly soak the cookies using the Lavazza coffee.
    7. Top cookies with a generous amount of chocolate cream, smooth it down using a spatula, and top with some dark chocolate shavings.
    8. Create another layer of ladyfingers on top, and repeat the process. Depending on the size of the dish, you should get 3-4 layers.
    9. Allow tiramisu to sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before enjoying.

      In the morning with my husband... A splash of international delight and a packet of stevia. Sometimes iced if it is hot because we live in AZ.

      THIS might be my new favorite way to have coffee. WOW, holy moly delicious. Coffee alone is fantastic, but putting it in tiramisu?? I'm there.
