Nick DiGiovanni’s Tiramisu Twist with Chamberlain Coffee!

Ingredients

• 2 tsp Instant Coffee (Family Blend) (Fine instant coffee, used to make the coffee soak)
• 1/2 cup Hot Water (Just boiled)
• 2 pieces Tea Bags (used as coffee bags) (Steep in hot water to create coffee infusion; can replace with espresso shot)
• 8 oz Mascarpone Cheese (Full‑fat, room temperature)
• 2 cup Heavy Cream (Divided: 1 cup for mascarpone mixture, 1 cup for whipping; chilled)
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (homemade) (Optional, can use store‑bought)
• 1 pinch Granulated Sugar (Adds a hint of sweetness to the cream)
• 1 pinch Fine Sea Salt (Enhances flavor of the layers)
• 12 pieces Ladyfingers (Approximately 200 g; store‑bought)
• 1 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (For dusting; sift before use)

Instructions

1. Make Coffee Infusion

   Bring water to a boil, pour 1/2 cup hot water into a bowl and add the two tea bags (or instant coffee). Let steep for about 2 minutes, then remove the bags and set the coffee liquid aside.

   Time: PT2M

2. Prepare Mascarpone Cream Base

   In a large mixing bowl combine the mascarpone cheese, 1 cup heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sugar. Mix with a whisk or hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

   Time: PT3M

3. Whip the Remaining Cream

   In a separate small bowl, pour the remaining 1 cup heavy cream, add a pinch of sugar, and whip until soft peaks form.

   Time: PT3M

4. Combine Whipped Cream with Mascarpone Mixture

   Fold the whipped cream gently into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.

   Time: PT2M

5. Assemble the Tiramisu

   Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee infusion (1‑2 seconds per side) and arrange them in the bottom of the 8‑inch springform pan, fitting like a puzzle. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt over the layer. Spread half of the cream mixture evenly. Add a second layer of dipped ladyfingers, then spread the remaining cream. Dust the top with sifted unsweetened cocoa powder.

   Time: PT5M

6. Serve or Chill

   Open the springform pan, slice, and serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let flavors meld.

   Time: PT0M
