Name: Creamy Tiramisu with Chocolate Cookie Layers 🍫
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 4 hours
Total time: 4 hours and 20 minutes
Ingredients: 2 cups strong espresso, cooled; 24 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos); 1 1/2 cups mascarpone cheese; 1 cup heavy cream; 1/2 cup sugar; 1 tsp vanilla extract; 2 tbsp cocoa powder; 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)

This creamy tiramisu combines rich mascarpone and the crunch of chocolate cookies for an extra indulgent dessert that melts in your mouth.

Quick Steps ✨

Dip cookies in espresso, then layer in a dish.

Whip cream, mascarpone, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

Layer mascarpone cream over cookies.

Repeat with more cookies and cream.

Dust with cocoa powder and refrigerate for 4 hours before serving.

Step by Step Instructions 📝

1. Prepare the Espresso Dip: Brew 2 cups of strong espresso and let it cool. Optionally, add 2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur for an extra flavor boost.

2. Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, mascarpone, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.

3. Layer the Cookies: Quickly dip each chocolate sandwich cookie into the cooled espresso (don’t soak for too long, or they’ll fall apart!). Place a layer of dipped cookies on the bottom of a serving dish.

4. Layer the Cream: Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the cookies, making sure to create an even layer. Add another layer of dipped cookies on top of the cream.

5. Final Layer and Chill: Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over the second layer of cookies. Dust the top with cocoa powder, then refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.

Swap chocolate cookies for traditional ladyfingers for a classic version.

Use cream cheese in place of mascarpone for a different creamy texture.

Add cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm spice note in the cocoa dusting.

Useful Notes 📝

Espresso dipping: Be careful not to soak the cookies for too long, or they will become too soft.

Cocoa powder: Use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich, chocolatey dusting.

Leftover Advice ♻️

Store tiramisu in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days. The flavors intensify over time! If the mascarpone cream starts to dry out, add a drizzle of fresh cream before serving.
