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.

        Oh my goodness this looks so scrumptious!
        I’ve got some mascarpone kicking around in my fridge that would be perfect for this!
        Thanks for the chocolate milk idea. Since I’m not a coffee drinker I’m always at a loss.
