Gordon Ramsay Tiramisu

Gordon Ramsay’s quick and delicious no‑bake tiramisu served in individual pots, layered with coffee‑soaked sponge fingers, mascarpone cream, dark chocolate and a dusting of cocoa.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 450 ml cold black coffee
  • 50 ml coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 18 sponge finger biscuits (ladyfingers)
  • 40 g dark chocolate (80 % cocoa solids), for grating
  • 1 tbsp good‑quality cocoa powder (to serve)
  • 250 g mascarpone cheese
  • 50 ml condensed milk
  • 250 ml double cream
  • 100 ml Marsala wine

Instructions

  1. Mix cold coffee with coffee liqueur in a shallow tray.
  2. Whisk together mascarpone and condensed milk until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat double cream to firm peaks, stir in Marsala, then gently fold into mascarpone mixture.
  4. Quick‑soak 9 sponge fingers one by one; break in half and place 3 halves into each of six serving glasses.
  5. Grate some dark chocolate over the sponge layer, then spoon 2 tbsp of mascarpone cream into each glass.
  6. Repeat dipping with remaining sponge fingers (2 halves per glass), add another layer of chocolate, and top with remaining mascarpone mixture.
  7. Before serving, dust each pot with cocoa powder using a fine tea strainer; chill for 1–2 hours if time allows.

Notes

  • Chilling for an hour or two before serving enhances the flavour and texture.
  • Serve in individual glasses for an elegant presentation.
  • You can omit coffee liqueur if preferred.
