Chocolate Tiramisu Recipe (with Video)

Ganache
1. Bring the heavy cream to a boil in a saucepan, then pour over the chocolate in a heat-safe bowl.
2. Cover for 5 minutes, then stir until the chocolate melts and a smooth, shiny ganache forms.
Mascarpone cream
1. Whisk the chilled heavy cream, sugar and vanilla in a bowl until the cream becomes thick.
2. Add the mascarpone cheese in 2-3 additions and mix on low speed until combined. Adjust the amount of mascarpone cheese based on your preference of taste and thickness.
Assembly
1. Mix the cocoa powder in the cooled espresso (or strong coffee) and place in a deep plate.
2. Dip the ladyfingers into the espresso one at a time, for 2 seconds per side, and arrange tightly in the bottom of a 9x9" pan / dish.
3. Cover with half of the mascarpone cream and spread using an offset spatula.
4. Pour over half of the ganache and spread it.
5. Repeat the process, creating another layer of ladyfingers, mascarpone cream and ganache.
6. Cover and place the Chocolate Tiramisu in the fridge for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
7. Dust with more cocoa powder right before serving.
