Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Layer
- 12 Kinder Bueno bars, chopped
- 1/2 cup Nutella, softened
- Chocolate shavings or extra Kinder Bueno pieces for topping (optional)
Cream Layer
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream, cold
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese, room temperature
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Base Layer
- 16–18 ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form, which will create a light, airy texture for the dessert’s creamy layer.
- Prepare the Nutella Mascarpone Mixture: In a separate large bowl, combine the room temperature mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and softened Nutella. Mix until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine Cream and Cheese Mixture: Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella-mascarpone mixture. Use a folding motion to keep the mixture light and creamy without deflating the whipped cream.
- Dip Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled strong coffee, limiting to 1–2 seconds per side to prevent sogginess. Immediately arrange a single layer of dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish or a similar size serving dish.
- Layer Cream and Kinder Bueno: Spread half of the Nutella cream mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers. Then sprinkle chopped Kinder Bueno pieces generously over the cream layer.
- Repeat Layers: Dip the remaining ladyfingers in coffee as before, and arrange them on top of the Kinder Bueno layer. Spread the remaining Nutella cream mixture over this second layer of ladyfingers.
- Chill the Dessert: Cover the assembled tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
- Finish and Serve: Before serving, dust the top generously with cocoa powder and garnish with extra chopped Kinder Bueno or chocolate shavings if desired for an extra touch of chocolatey goodness.
Notes
- For a stronger chocolate flavor, add a layer of melted chocolate or drizzle chocolate ganache over the layers.
- To avoid soggy ladyfingers, dip them briefly into the coffee, do not soak.
- This dessert can also be presented individually in cups for a fun, portion-controlled serving option.
