Nutellamisu Recipe

4.8 from 101 reviews

A rich and decadent Nutella-infused twist on classic tiramisu, combining creamy mascarpone and whipped cream layers with espresso-soaked ladyfingers and a hint of Frangelico liqueur for a luscious Italian-inspired dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Dairy & Cream

  • 3 cups cold heavy cream
  • 16 oz. mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Sweeteners & Flavorings

  • 2 (13-oz.) containers store-bought Nutella
  • 2 tbsp Frangelico
  • 2 tbsp espresso powder (for dusting)

Other Ingredients

  • 48 ladyfingers
  • 3 cups cold espresso or strongly brewed coffee

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream: In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or using a large bowl and handheld mixer, beat the cold heavy cream together with kosher salt on medium speed until soft peaks form, ensuring you do not overbeat to stiff peaks.
  2. Prepare Nutella Mascarpone Mixture: In a separate large bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and Nutella until smooth. Add about one-third of the whipped cream to this mixture and gently fold to combine. Then fold this mascarpone mixture into the remaining whipped cream to create a light and creamy filling.
  3. Soak Ladyfingers: In a shallow dish or long container large enough to fit the ladyfingers, mix the cold espresso or strong coffee with the Frangelico liqueur. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture for about one second, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
  4. Assemble the Tiramisu: Arrange the dipped ladyfingers in two vertical rows of twelve each, lining the bottom of a 13″ x 9″ pan. Spread half of the Nutella mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers. Repeat the process with the remaining dipped ladyfingers and top with the remaining cream mixture.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for at least 3 hours or up to overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set. Before serving, dust the top with espresso powder to finish.

Notes

  • For best results, use cold heavy cream and cold espresso to help the ingredients blend well and the layers set properly.
  • Do not over-soak the ladyfingers to avoid a soggy dessert; a quick dip is sufficient.
  • This dessert can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated overnight for enhanced flavor.
  • Substitute Frangelico with hazelnut syrup for a non-alcoholic option.
  • Use high-quality Nutella and fresh mascarpone for richer, authentic flavor.
