Decadent Chocolate Orange Tiramisu Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound mascarpone cheese, room temperature
• 0.25 cup orange-flavored liqueur (such as Grand Marnier), divided
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups orange juice (such as Simply®)
• 3 (3 ounce) packages soft ladyfingers
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, or as needed, divided

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, beat together the mascarpone cheese and 2 tablespoons of orange liqueur until smooth. Set aside the mixture.
2. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold about ¼ of the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until smooth. Then, fold in the remaining ¾ of the whipped cream until everything is smooth and well combined. Set aside.
3. In a shallow bowl, combine the orange juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons of orange liqueur. Separate the ladyfingers and quickly dip them into the orange juice mixture, about 2 to 3 at a time. Dip just long enough for them to absorb a little liquid. Arrange the soaked ladyfingers in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish to cover the bottom.
4. Spread about ½ of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers. Sprinkle about ½ of the cocoa powder evenly over the mascarpone layer. Repeat the soaking and layering process with the remaining ladyfingers, followed by the remaining ½ of the mascarpone mixture, and the remaining ½ of the cocoa powder.
5. Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 5 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
