Chocolate & hazelnut tiramisu pots
- Preparation and cooking time
- Prep:
- Easy
- Serves 4
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs, seperated
- 30g caster sugar
- 150g mascarpone
- 100g chocolate hazelnut spread
- 100ml strong coffee
- 50ml hazelnut liqueur or Irish cream liqueur
- 8 sponge fingers
- cocoa powder, for dusting
- 50g hazelnuts, toasted and finely chopped
Method
- STEP 1
Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form and they hold their shape. In a separate bowl whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. Gently beat in the mascarpone and chocolate hazelnut spread. Mix a spoonful of the egg white mix into the chocolate mixture to loosen, then very gently fold the remaining egg white into the bowl, being careful not to knock out the air.
- STEP 2
Pour the coffee and alcohol into a shallow bowl. Break the fingers in half to fit into the glasses. Dip them in the boozy coffee mixture on each side for 1 second. Spoon some of the chocolate mixture into the base of each glass. Top with 2 halves of a sponge finger, then gently spread over another layer of chocolate. Repeat this process again. Chill overnight.
- STEP 3
Finish the pots with a dusting of cocoa and the chopped hazelnuts.
