Instructions
Creating Black Forest Tiramisu is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Coffee Mixture: In a bowl, mix the cooled brewed coffee with the coffee liqueur. Set aside.
2. Make the Mascarpone Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3. Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
4. Assemble the Layers:
– Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they soak but do not become too soggy.
– Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish or individual glasses.
5. Add Cherry Filling: Spread half of the cherry filling over the layer of ladyfingers.
6. Add Mascarpone Mixture: Spoon half of the mascarpone mixture over the cherry layer, smoothing it out evenly.
7. Repeat Layers: Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers followed by the remaining cherry filling and then the remaining mascarpone mixture.
8. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
9. Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle the top with dark chocolate shavings and add fresh cherries for an appealing garnish.
