Creamy coffee and chocolate dessert with peanuts

Melt the chocolate:
Roughly chop the dark chocolate and melt it over a hot water bath or in the microwave. Let it cool slightly.

Prepare the cream:
Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, combine the mascarpone, sugar, vanilla extract, and coffee until smooth. Stir in the cooled chocolate. Then carefully fold in the whipped cream.

Layering:
Pour the cream into glasses or dessert bowls. Smooth slightly.

Topping:
Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and garnish with cocoa powder, caramel sauce, or grated chocolate, if desired.

Cooling:
Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour – this will make it extra creamy and aromatic.

💡 Tips:
For extra crunch: Use a base of crumbled chocolate butter cookies or Oreo cookies.

For a non-alcoholic tiramisu version: Soak ladyfingers in coffee and layer them alternately with the cream.
