Kid Friendly Ricotta and Mascarpone Tiramisu

 Ingredients:

125g Bufala Ricotta

250g Mascarpone

70 g chocolate, Valrhona Jivara 40% Bar for kid friendly version, go darker if you want a richer, dark chocolate flavour.

1 teaspoon Valrhona vanilla extract

 600ml strong coffee, cooled (you may have residual coffee left over)

 100g sugar

 200g lady fingers biscuits

 Method:

Brew 600ml of strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature.

In a large bowl, combine 125g of Ricotta and 250g of Mascarpone. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 100g of sugar to the bowl. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Quickly dip each lady finger biscuit into the cooled coffee, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.  Arrange a layer of soaked lady fingers at the bottom of your serving dish (a rectangular or square dish works well).

Spread  the ricotta-mascarpone mixture evenly over the layer of lady fingers. Repeat the Layers. Sprinkle grated dark chocolate over the top layer of cream.

Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the flavours to meld and the dessert to set.

Enjoy your homemade Ricotta and Mascarpone tiramisu!
