  • For Assembly:

    • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (for dusting)

    • Optional: Dark chocolate shavings, caramel sauce, or chopped nuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coffee Mixture:

    • Brew 1 cup of strong coffee or espresso and let it cool. Add sugar and coffee liqueur (if using) and stir until dissolved. Set aside.

  2. Make the Toffee:

    • In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

    • Stop stirring and let the mixture boil until it reaches 300°F (150°C) or turns a golden amber color (about 5-7 minutes).

    • Pour the toffee onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it cool completely. Break into small pieces.

  3. Prepare the Mascarpone Cream:

    • In a large bowl, whisk together mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

  4. Assemble the Tiramisu Toffee:

    • Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture and arrange a layer in your serving dish.

    • Sprinkle a layer of toffee pieces over the ladyfingers.

    • Spread a layer of mascarpone cream over the toffee.

    • Repeat the layers (ladyfingers, toffee, mascarpone cream) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of mascarpone cream.

    • Dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with optional toppings like chocolate shavings or caramel sauce.

  5. Chill and Serve:

    • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set.

    • Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

  • Substitutions: Use gluten-free ladyfingers for a gluten-free version or dairy-free mascarpone and cream for a vegan option.

  • Avoid Soggy Ladyfingers: Dip them quickly (1-2 seconds) to prevent over-soaking.
