Method
- Firstly make the Coffee Syrup, bring all the ingredients to the boil and store in the fridge until completely cold.
- While it cools, make the Chocolate Ganache by first chopping the chocolate to small pieces and place in a bowl. Meanwhile boil cream and pour and top of the chocolate leave it for 2 min. and then stir it in until melted. Cover the top with cling wrap and leave it to cool at room temperature.
- To make the Coffee Mascarpone Cream, beat mascarpone and pouring cream until smooth. Add icing sugar and whisk until softly stiff. Add coffee syrup and whisk for further 30 sec, then scrape down with a spatula and gently fold it together.
- To layer the tiramisu, start by dunking the sponge finger biscuits in the Coffee Syrup and layer in your desired glass. Next spoon your Coffee Mascarpone Cream and then drizzle the chocolate ganache and sprinkle the toasted hazelnuts. You can either cut the Petite Pavlovas in half longways or you can pull them apart and layer them before repeating each layer.
- Top the tiramisu off with a dusting of cocoa and a chocolate truffle.
