Nutella Tiramisu: A Decadent Twist on the Classic Italian Dessert

Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool to room temperature. If you’re using coffee liqueur, mix it with the cooled coffee and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Nutella Mascarpone Cream

In a large bowl, whisk together the Nutella and mascarpone cheese until smooth and fully combined. The Nutella should blend seamlessly with the mascarpone to create a rich, creamy base.
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella-mascarpone mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. The result should be a light, airy, and smooth cream.
Step 3: Assemble the Tiramisu

Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee mixture (don’t soak them too long to avoid sogginess). Arrange the dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish or an equivalent-sized serving dish.
Spread half of the Nutella mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers, smoothing it out into an even layer.
Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining Nutella mascarpone cream.
Use a spatula to smooth the top layer, ensuring an even, creamy finish.
Step 4: Chill and Serve

Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up.
Just before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with a generous layer of cocoa powder. For an extra touch, sprinkle chocolate shavings on top for added texture and flavor.
