INGREDIENTS

Cheesecake Filling

Mascarpone Topping

PREPARATION

Step 1:

Cheesecake Filling: Prepare the espresso. Allow it to cool. Stir in vanilla. One by one, quickly dip 20 of the ladyfingers in and out of the coffee. Line the bottom of an 8×8 baking dish with the espresso-soaked ladyfingers.

Step 2:

With a spatula, spread one tub of no-bake cheesecake filling over the ladyfingers in a smooth even layer. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon chocolate over the surface.

Step 3:

Repeat with a second layer of 20 ladyfingers and the second tub of cheesecake filling.

Step 4:

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon chocolate over the top. Refrigerate the tiramisu while you make the mascarpone topping.

Step 5:

Mascarpone Topping: Remove mixing bowl and whisk from the freezer. Add mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla to the bowl. Attach bowl and whip to your stand mixer.

Step 4:

Mix the ingredients on medium speed until firm peaks form and the mixture can hold its shape (about 5 minutes).

Step 4:

Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 1A tip. Remove tiramisu from the fridge. Holding the piping bag straight up and down, pipe quarter-size circles of topping over the surface of the cheesecake. The peaks should be very close together. Refrigerate uncovered for 4 hours or overnight.

Step 4:

Just before serving, generously dust the top with chocolate.
