Italian Chocolate Pastry Cream Tiramisu, a rich and deliciously indulgent dessert. The perfect way to end a delicious dinner. Creamy and Chocolatey. 

Italian Chocolate Pastry Cream Tiramisu, an easy Italian Dessert recipe, made with lady fingers, chocolate and cream. Delicate & Delicious.

I posted this Chocolate Pastry Cream just over a month ago. I had friends come over dinner and as we all know you can’t have dinner without dessert. I wanted something fast and easy.

I had actually thought of filling some homemade beignet for dessert but decided I didn’t really have the time. So off I ran to my favourite corner store.

I picked up some lady fingers and some fresh cream and I knew I was going to make a Chocolate Pastry Cream Tiramisu. I thought of making it in a pan but then to make it even easier I decided to serve it in separate glasses.

Parfaits are not very popular here in Italy so I knew my friends would love it. And love it they did. With the Chocolate Pastry Cream giving the Tiramisu a very delicate taste.

To start I made the Italian Chocolate Pastry Cream a couple of hours a head of time and let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours.

I  placed a good heaping spoonful at the bottom of the glass, topped with a broken Lady Finger cookie and on the cookie I drizzled a little strong coffee. If you don’t like coffee or will be serving this dessert to kids just substitute with a little chocolate milk.

I topped the cookie with a dollop of whipped cream, some chocolate sprinkles, another broken cookie, coffee, a spoonful of chocolate pastry cream, and to finish some whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

I hope you enjoy it!
