Sharp's Beeramisu

Coffee stout takes on the characteristics of fortified wine in some recipes and makes the perfect addition to the classic tiramisu recipe!

INGREDIENTS

For the base:

• 100g Savoiardi biscuits
• 100ml good Chocolate Stout or Porter with a fairly high ABV

For the cream:

• 50ml Chocolate Stout or Porter (as above)
• 125g mascarpone
• 250ml double cream
• 1 orange, zest
• 2 tbsp demerara sugar

For the ganache:

• 75g chocolate (70% dark chocolate)
• 15g butter
• 1 tbsp Chocolate Stout or Porter (as above)
• 100ml double cream

For the garnish:

• Orange zest
• Cocoa powder

METHOD

This seems complicated, but all you're doing is making the layers for a tiramisu! Make each stage in a separate bowl, and then layer them into a glass dish.

1. Soak the finger biscuits in the Stout/Porter.
2. Whip up all the cream ingredients in a separate bowl.
3. Put all the ganache ingredients, except the cream, in a heatproof bowl.
4. Bring the cream to the boil in a separate pan and pour over the other ganache ingredients. Mix well into a thick chocolate sauce consistency.
5. Layer into a dish with sponge at the bottom, then cream, then ganache - do this as many times as you can. Then dust with a generous amount of cocoa and a pinch of orange zest.
