Chocolate Tiramisu
- 1 (8-ounce) container mascarpone cheese
- 3/4 cup whipping cream
- 2/3 cup sugar
- Chocolate Zabaglione (page 234), cold (1/2 of the recipe)
- 2 1/2 cups espresso, cold
- 32 Savoiardi (crisp ladyfinger cookies; from two 7-ounce packages)
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, for sifting
- In a large bowl, stir the mascarpone cheese two times or just until smooth (do not overmix or the mascarpone will become stiff).
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream and 1/3 cup of the sugar with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Fold the sweetened whipped cream into the mascarpone, then fold in the chocolate zabaglione.
- Cover and refrigerate.
- Line a 9 1/4 x 5 x 2 3/4-inch metal loaf pan with plastic wrap, allowing the plastic to extend over the sides.
- In another medium bowl, whisk the espresso and the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar to blend.
- Working with one cookie at a time, dip 8 cookies into the espresso, and arrange in a single layer side by side over the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Spoon one third of the mascarpone mixture over the cookies to cover.
- Repeat the dipping and layering of the cookies and remaining mascarpone mixture two more times.
- Dip the remaining 8 cookies in the espresso and arrange side by side atop the tiramisu.
- Press lightly to compact slightly (the last layer will extend above the pan ides).
- Cover the tiramisu with plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
- Unwrap the plastic from atop the tiramisu.
- Invert the tiramisu onto a platter and remove the plastic.
- Sift the cocoa over the tiramisu and serve.
