Description

This decadent no-bake dessert transforms classic tiramisu into a chocolate-hazelnut lover’s dream! Layers of espresso-free chocolate-dipped ladyfingers, creamy Nutellamascarpone filling, and crunchy toasted hazelnuts create the ultimate Ferrero Rocher-inspired treat.


Ingredients

For the Ladyfinger Layers:

  • 28  ladyfingers 
  • 3 tbsp Nutella
  • 100g milk ( ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp)

For the Filling:

  • 400g mascarpone cheese ( 1 ¾ cups)
  • 300g Nutella  (1 cup + 2 tbsp)
  • 250g heavy whipping cream ( 1 cup + 1 tbsp)
  • 20g granulated sugar ( 1½ tbsp)

To Layer:

  • 90g Nutella ( ⅓ cup)

To Decorate:

  • 150g Nutella ( ½ cup + 1 tbsp)
  • 50g chopped hazelnuts ( ½ cup)


Instructions

Chocolate milk:

  1. Prepare the chocolate milk for soaking by gently warming the milk and whisking in Nutella until completely smooth. Transfer to a shallow dish and let it cool to room temperature.

Nutella mascarpone filling 

  1. Make the Nutella–mascarpone base by folding together room-temperature mascarpone and Nutella with a spatula. Mix gently until smooth and uniform, being careful not to overmix.
  2. Whip the heavy cream and sugar in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form. The cream should hold its shape but still curl slightly at the tips.
  3. Gently fold the Nutella–mascarpone mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula.
  4. Fold just until combined and no white streaks remain, being careful not to deflate the cream.

Assemble

  1. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled chocolate milk, spending only 1-2 seconds per side to prevent them from becoming too soggy.
  2. Arrange the first layer of dipped ladyfingers in a single, tight layer at the bottom of your dish.
  3. Spread a thin layer of melted pure Nutella evenly over the arranged ladyfingers.
  4. Spoon half of the prepared tiramisu cream over the Nutella layer and spread it into an even, smooth layer.
  5. Add a second layer of quickly dipped ladyfingers over the cream, arranging them neatly.
  6. Top with the remaining tiramisu cream, spreading it evenly and smoothing the surface with your spatula.

Refrigerate and Decorate

  1. Cover the tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set firmly.
  2. Before serving, gently warm the remaining Nutella and mix it with chopped hazlenuts and  cover the set tiramisu..
  3. For clean, professional-looking slices, place the tiramisu in the freezer for 20-30 minutes before cutting with a sharp knife.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure both the mascarpone cheese and Nutella are at room temperature before mixing to avoid a lumpy or grainy filling.
  • Do not overwhip the heavy cream; stop as soon as soft peaks form to maintain a smooth, light texture.
  • When dipping the ladyfingers, be swift. A quick 1-2 second dip per side is sufficient to prevent them from becoming overly soggy.
  • For the cleanest slices when serving, chill the tiramisu thoroughly and consider using a hot, dry knife to cut it.
  • The bowl and whisk for whipping cream must be completely dry and chilled; any moisture or grease will prevent the cream from whipping properly.
  • If you accidentally overwhip your cream, you can rescue it by gently folding in a small amount of fresh, liquid heavy cream.
  • If your mascarpone cheese splits and becomes grainy, it cannot be fixed. It’s best to start over with new ingredients for the perfect creamy texture.
  • If you plan to freeze this tiramisu, dip the ladyfingers even more briefly than usual, as they will continue to absorb moisture while thawing.
