Pros: An extremely simple recipe with big flavors and easy-to-find ingredients.
Cons: May not satisfy those looking for an authentic tiramisu recipe.
Bottom Line: A great tribute to tiramisu without any fuss.
This is a delicious, easy-to-throw-together dessert that makes a big impression. It only takes 15-20 minutes to make (though it does need to sit in the fridge for an hour after it's made), and it indulges coffee lovers with a tiramisu-esque dish without having to search multiple grocery stores for speciality Italian ingredients. And since there is no baking involved, you won't even have to break a sweat! The pound cake substitutes for the ladyfingers in the traditional recipe, providing a moist, buttery base for the creamy, chocolatey topping. And the toffee bits on top provide a fun, unexpected twist on the original Italian dessert. Though the dish may not be a true tiramisu and some Italian enthusiasts may find the flavors a bit lacking, this dessert definitely has bang for the buck. It comes together as a delicious dessert with bold flavors that looks and tastes as though it took much more effort than it actually did. Use it when you need to impress your guests and you're pressed for time!
| 1 package (10.75 oz) frozen pound cake loaf, thawed and cut into about 10 slices 3/4 cup strong coffee (we use a full cup) 1 cup sugar | 1/2 cup chocolate-flavor syrup 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened 2 cups whipping cream 2 bars (1.4 oz each) chocolate-covered toffee candy, chopped |
Slice the pound cake and arrange on the bottom of the serving dish.
Drizzle the coffee over the pound cake layer.
In a large bowl, mix the sugar, chocolate syrup, and cream cheese on medium speed until well mixed. Add the whipping cream, and beat until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. This should take a few minutes.
Spread the chocolate mixture over the cake. Top with the chopped toffee bits.
