- 3 sponge fingers
- 177 milliliters / ¾ cup cream lightly whipped
- 427 grams / 1 ¾ cups custard
- 200 grams / 7 ounces mascarpone
- 14-21 grams / 2-3 tablespoons Dutch cocoa powder
Instructions
- Place the sponge fingers in a shallow bowl and pour the ¼ cup of the coffee evenly over the top, ensuring they are well coated. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, place the cream and 1 cup of the custard. Stir through to combine.
- In another bowl, place the mascarpone and remaining custard and coffee, combine well.
- Scatter 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder into the base of each cup.
- Add 1 teaspoonful of the cream mixture and 1 teaspoon of the mascarpone mixture. Then crumble 1 sponge finger among the 6 molds.
- Scatter another half a teaspoon of cocoa powder over each layer and continue layering as the first layer until all the cream and mascarpone are complete.
- Ensure all are even and finish by scattering the top with more cocoa powder.
- Cut aluminum foil into a square the size of the cups and slice a slit into the center of each, wider then the popsicle stick.
- Fold and place as flatly as possible on top of each tiramisu and slowly place the popsicle stick through the slit right to the base of each tiramisu.
- Set in the freezer for a minimum of 5 hours.
- When ready to serve, allow to sit in room temperature for approximately 10 minutes or until it slides out easily.
- Enjoy.
Notes
- Sponge fingers: The true classic ingredient in the traditional dessert and this helps give that coffee flavor throughout and this has a really soft texture within the creamy layers.
- Custard: A rich vanilla custard was used here, which is potentially paler in color than what you might be able to source. You could easily replace the custard with an instant homemade version, if you prefer.
- Cocoa powder: Unsweetened cocoa powder was used here to add a layer of depth to this sweet dessert.
- Molds: Large molds are better for these than a regular popsicle mold, plastic cups were used to make these round ones and can easily be washed and reused for other popsicles.
