Chocolate mousse doughnut tiramisu

Tiramisu with a surprise! Doughnuts make for a cheeky change to this classic dessert.

INGREDIENTS

• 200g dark chocolate, chopped
• 2 tablespoons instant espresso coffee powder
• 1/4 cup coffee-flavoured liqueur (optional)
• 1 cup boiling water
• 500g mascarpone, softened (see notes)
• 1/3 cup icing sugar mixture
• 1/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder, sifted
• 600ml thickened cream, whipped (see notes)
• 18 cinnamon doughnuts
• 300ml thickened cream, whipped, extra, to serve
• Grated dark chocolate, to serve

METHOD

• Step 1
  Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH (100%), stirring every 30 seconds with a metal spoon, for 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool.
• Step 2
  Combine coffee powder, liqueur (if using) and boiling water in a heatproof bowl. Stand for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
• Step 3
  Whisk mascarpone until smooth. Gradually whisk in cooled chocolate until combined. Fold in icing sugar, cocoa and whipped cream.
• • Be careful not to overmix or the mousse will start to split.
  • Step 4
    Thinly cover the base of a 7cm-deep, 23cm x 25cm (base) dish with mousse. Working with 1 at a time, immerse 1/2 of the doughnuts into the coffee mixture, turning to coat and soak up some of the liquid. Place in a single layer over the base of dish, drizzling with a little of the coffee mixture. Spoon 1/2 the remaining chocolate mousse over the doughnuts.
  • Step 5
    Repeat process with remaining doughnuts and coffee mixture. Place in a single layer over mousse layer. Spoon remaining chocolate mousse over the top of the doughnuts to cover completely. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  • Step 6
    Remove plastic wrap and stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Top with whipped cream and chocolate. Serve.
