Jamie Oliver Chocolate Tiramisu

Jamie Oliver Chocolate Tiramisu

Jamie Oliver’s chocolate tiramisu is a layered dessert made with mascarpone cream, coffee-soaked sponge biscuits, and chocolate.

It combines the familiar structure of tiramisu with added cocoa and chocolate to create a richer, more comforting version of the classic.

Ingredients

  • Mascarpone cheese
  • Double cream
  • Icing sugar
  • Dark chocolate, melted and cooled
  • Cocoa powder
  • Strong-brewed coffee, cooled
  • Sponge fingers or savoiardi biscuits
  • Vanilla extract
  • Dark chocolate shavings or grated chocolate (for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Coffee

Brew strong coffee and allow it to cool completely. This prevents the biscuits from becoming overly soggy while soaking.

Step 2: Make the Chocolate Cream

In a bowl, whisk the mascarpone with icing sugar and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, lightly whip the double cream until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, then gently fold in the melted chocolate until fully combined.

Step 3: Dip the Biscuits

Quickly dip each sponge finger into the cooled coffee. Do not soak them for too long, as they will soften further as the tiramisu sets.

Step 4: Layer the Dessert

Arrange a layer of dipped biscuits in the base of a serving dish. Spread over a generous layer of chocolate mascarpone cream. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with cream on top.

Step 5: Chill

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. Chilling allows the layers to set and the flavours to blend.

Step 6: Finish and Serve

Just before serving, dust generously with cocoa powder and scatter over grated chocolate or shavings.
