Effortless Chocolate Tiramisu

We finally made it to the weekend! This week has been great considering Joel and I had a relaxing and fun staycation. Now that the weekend is here, I’m back at work in the kitchen teaching this weekend with some fun classes – Chinese Dim Sum brunch, Sushi dinner and even a Vietnamese culinary tour. So to milk my staycation as much as possible, I’m ending the week with an easy peasy recipe for Effortless Chocolate Tiramisu. Bite sized pieces of chocolate cake soak up coffee before being blanketed in a rich, sweet and creamy mascarpone layer with a final dusting of cocoa for good measure…

This recipe is ‘effortless’ in the sense that ladyfinger cookies don’t need to be dipped in coffee and laid out perfectly in a pan. Instead, homemade or store bought chocolate cake works well. Next up is the mascarpone layer which can be done in minutes before topping the cake. Add a dusting of cocoa, cover in plastic wrap before chilling and then waiting until tomorrow to enjoy it. The waiting overnight is probably the hardest part of the recipe. And I’ll warn you now, the mascarpone mixture is so good you may have to make more to cover the cake. 🙂
