Nutella Tiramisu
As simple as this dessert is to make, its deliciousness relies on the use of Pandoro - a festive Italian yeast-leavened cake - similar to brioche, which can be used instead. You can, also substitute sponge cake.
Serves:
6
Prep Time: 20 minutes (plus refrigeration time)
Ingredients
- 600ml cream
- 1/2 cup Nutella choc hazelnut spread
- 250g storebought Italian Pandoro*
- 1 cup hot strong espresso coffee
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup marsala or coffee liqueur
- 150g chopped dark chocolate, for decoration
- 1/4 cup toasted flaked almonds
Method
- Beat cream and Nutella together until soft peaks form.
- To make Coffee Syrup, combine hot espresso, sugar and marsala together, stirring until sugar dissolves, and allow to cool.
- Finely dice Pandoro and place half in the base of a trifle serving bowl. Spoon half the Coffee Syrup evenly over the Pandoro.
- Layer with half the Nutella Cream, half the chopped chocolate and half the almonds. Repeat to create a second layer, finishing with chopped chocolate and almonds.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour or up to 24 hours before serving.
Tips
- * Pandoro is a storebought Italian yeast-leavened festive cake – similar to Panettone, without the fruit. You can substitute brioche or golden sponge cake.
- STYLING Use a knife to chop the chocolate into large uneven chunks.
