If you are a coffee, liqueur and cream lover, you will adore it. Extremely easy to make.
Minimal cooking involved, just layers and refrigeration, better to do it the day before.
Layers of creams, lady fingers, chocolate, amaretti cookies, almonds and coffee.
I did it in a tart pan with a removable base, to keep it in place, I added two walls of foiled paper around to maintain the deep shape. I used a vegetable peeler to make the chocolate curls.
Ingredients:
(for the cream)
8 oz mascarpone cheese
6 oz heavy cream whipped
1/4 cup caster sugar
( to sprinkle)
1 tablespoon finely ground coffee
2 oz chocolate chopped into very small pieces
2 oz chocolate curls
1 cup of sliced toasted almonds
1 cup of amaretti cookies crushed into small pieces
2 packets of lady fingers
(for dipping the lady fingers)
4 cups of expresso coffee
4 tbls spoons of caster sugar
8 tbls of brandy
Preparations:
Make a cream by whisking together the mascarpone cheese, the heavy cream and the sugar. Chill. For dipping the lady fingers make three cups of coffee expresso, stir in the sugar and add the brandy. Place it in a bowl and let it cool.
Start the first layer with the lady fingers dipped into the coffee mixture and lay them in a row in a tart mold, cover it with thick cream. Sprinkle with some of the chocolate pieces, spread the second layer, dipping the lady fingers in the coffee mixture, then cover with the cream and sprinkle with the amaretti cookies chopped. Continue the next layer in the same way this time sprinkling with coffee grounded and chocolate pieces.
Cover the top with coffee cream, the chocolate curls and toasted almonds. Chill overnight .
Another stress free dessert!!!

Very creative short cut way to get all the flavor of a tiramisu without all the time in the kitchen. That first picture with all the layers does look amazing. I have saved this lovely dessert-can't wait to make and taste it. Great post!
Nothing like a tiramisu, but yours is special. So clever and so much reward, Love it Lola!! Rgds, A
Stress free....and DELICIOUS! What a nice way to make all the flavors of tiramisu without going crazy! Your pictures are terrific - as always!
Well, tiramisu is my most favorite thing ever so I REALLY love this!
Hi Lola! I'm a tiramisu fan. I definitely love your way of making this decadent dessert. Lovely photos and thanks for popping by over at my blog. To answer what food I like most so far, I will have to say my very first beef tartare that I had in Chef Tyler's Mayfare Tavern. It's so good and not one bit tasted like raw beef. I will share more on that soon. Have a good week.. btw I'm planning to get some stuff from your shop ;). Hopefully you can ship them to me.. Hugsss, Jo
