How to make Chocolate Ricotta Tiramisu
Prepare the chocolate ricotta cream
In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
If desired, fold in the grated or melted dark chocolate for extra depth of flavor. Set aside.
Make the coffee soak
In a shallow dish, mix the brewed coffee, coffee liqueur (if using), and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Assemble the tiramisu
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee soak, making sure not to oversaturate.
Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of an 8×8-inch or similar-sized dish.
Spread half of the chocolate ricotta cream evenly over the ladyfingers.
Repeat with another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and the remaining chocolate ricotta cream.
Chill and garnish
Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Before serving, dust the top generously with cocoa powder and garnish with shaved dark chocolate.
Serve
Slice into squares or spoon into individual servings. Pair with a cup of espresso or your favorite dessert wine.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the ricotta cheese is well-drained to avoid a watery cream.
For a stronger coffee flavor, let the ladyfingers soak a bit longer, but be careful not to oversaturate.
