  • Whip the cream with ¾ of the sugar and put in the refrigerator. 
  • Melt the chocolate drops (or your fondue) and set aside at room temperature.
  • Mix the coffee and liqueur in a deep dish and set aside.
  • Heat the water in a pot to make a double boiler (bain marie).

  • Start assembling the tiramisu.
  • Soak the finger biscuits (which have been cut in two) in the coffee and liqueur mixture, one by one, for approximately 3 seconds before placing them at the bottom of each glass.
  • Add the mascarpone mixture, cocoa powder and about 1 ½ tbsp. of the fruit mixture. Repeat. 
  • Refrigerate the tiramisu for 12 hours.
  • Before serving, sprinkle with cocoa powder.
