Description

Nutellamisu is a luscious twist on the classic tiramisu, combining the rich, creamy flavors of mascarpone and Nutella with the boldness of espresso and a hint of Frangelico liqueur. This no-bake dessert features layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and a fluffy Nutella-infused mascarpone cream, chilled to perfection for a decadent treat that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Cream Mixture

3 cups cold heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
16 ounces mascarpone cheese
2 containers (13 ounces each) store-bought Nutella

Ladyfinger Layer

48 ladyfingers
3 cups cold espresso or strongly brewed coffee
2 tablespoons Frangelico liqueur

Topping

2 tablespoons espresso powder (for dusting)

Instructions

Beat Cream: In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or using a large bowl with a handheld mixer, beat the cold heavy cream and kosher salt on medium speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat to stiff peaks as this will affect the texture.
Prepare Mascarpone Mixture: In a separate large bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and Nutella until smooth and well blended. Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the mascarpone and Nutella mixture to lighten it. Then fold this combined mixture back into the remaining whipped cream until fully incorporated and creamy.
Assemble Ladyfingers: In a shallow dish or long container, mix the cold espresso and Frangelico. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture for about 1 second—just enough to soak but not soggy. Arrange the dipped ladyfingers in two vertical rows of twelve in the bottom of a 13″ x 9″ pan to form the first layer.
Layer Cream: Spread half of the Nutella mascarpone cream evenly over the ladyfinger layer. Repeat by dipping and laying down the remaining ladyfingers, then spread the remaining cream on top to create the second layer.
Chill: Refrigerate the assembled Nutellamisu for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly. It can be kept overnight for even better results.
Dust and Serve: Before serving, dust the top generously with espresso powder to add a final aromatic touch.

Notes

Make sure the espresso or coffee is completely cooled before dipping ladyfingers to prevent them from becoming too soggy.
For a non-alcoholic version, omit the Frangelico or substitute it with a coffee or hazelnut-flavored syrup.
Use cold heavy cream and mascarpone to ensure the cream whips properly and the dessert sets well.
For best texture, dip ladyfingers quickly to avoid them absorbing too much liquid.
Allow the Nutellamisu to chill overnight if possible; it enhances the flavors and texture beautifully.
