Reimagining an Italian classic with hints of chocolate for a sweet chocolate indulgence.

Layered chocolate tiramisu

Serves 8-10

Ingredients

For the chocolate layer  

200g milk chocolate, finely chopped 
3 Tbsp (45ml) cream 
½ cup (250ml) cream  

230g mascarpone
2 tsp (10ml) vanilla essence
100g white chocolate, melted
3 Tbsp (45ml) coffee liqueur 
½ cup (125ml) strong espresso coffee, cooled 
½ packet (100g) Lady Finger biscuits 
Cocoa powder, for dusting  

Method

1. Line a 20x25x7cm tin with clingfilm. 
2. For the chocolate layer, place the chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in bursts of 15 seconds until melted, stirring in between bursts. Set aside until needed. 
3. For the mascarpone layer, whip the cream until soft peaks. Gently whisk through the mascarpone and vanilla, then fold through the white chocolate.
4. Combine the coffee liqueur and espresso in a shallow bowl. Swiftly dip the Lady Fingers into the coffee mixture as needed and start layering.
5. Start with a layer of Lady Fingers, followed by chocolate layer, Lady Fingers and the mascarpone layer. Continue until all the ingredients used. 
6. Fold over the overlapping clingfilm and refrigerate for about 2-3 hours. 
7. Unmould and dust with cocoa powder and enjoy
