Ingredients:
- 3 eggs (whites and yolks separated)
- 60 g powdered sugar (1/3 cup)
- 250 g mascarpone cheese (1 cup)
- 200 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa ideally, 7 oz)
- 1 tablespoon light cream (15 ml)
- 1 large can of pears in syrup (approximately 500 g net drained, 17.6 oz)
- 1 package of ladyfingers (about 30)
- Unsweetened cocoa powder for finishing
Directions:
In a bowl, beat the egg yolks and powdered sugar until creamy. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese. In another bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form and gradually fold them into the mascarpone mixture. Melt the dark chocolate with the light cream over a double boiler or in the microwave and let it cool slightly.
Dip each ladyfinger briefly in the pear syrup and layer them in a serving dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Add a layer of pears and then drizzle half of the chocolate ganache. Repeat the layers: ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, pears, and finish with the remaining chocolate ganache. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, dust with unsweetened cocoa powder. To serve, cut the tiramisu into squares and place each piece on a dessert plate. Garnish with extra sliced pears or a light dusting of cocoa powder. This dessert can be served chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea.
