Gluten-Free JOC Soups and Stews Italian Tiramisu Ingredients: 8 ounces gluten-free ladyfingers 1 ½ cups brewed espresso, cooled 1 cup mascarpone cheese ½ cup granulated sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons cocoa powder 1 ounce dark chocolate, grated 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional) Instructions: In a shallow dish, pour the cooled espresso. Dip each gluten-free ladyfinger into the espresso for a few seconds, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Arrange them in a single layer in a serving dish. In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of soaked ladyfingers. Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone mixture. Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over the second layer of ladyfingers. Sift the cocoa powder over the top layer and sprinkle the grated dark chocolate. Optionally, drizzle the coffee liqueur over the top for added flavor. Refrigerate the Tiramisu for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free Italian Tiramisu from JOC Soups and Stews!
