Donal Skehan’s Irish coffee, hazelnut and chocolate tiramisu
A crowd-pleasing variation on a classic
Tiramisu is one of chef Donal Skehan’s “go-to desserts to feed a crowd”.
He says: “This version is the latest twist and an homage to that favourite after-dinner treat: Irish coffee topped with whipped cream.”

Method:
1. Put the cream, mascarpone and sugar into a bowl and whisk by hand with a balloon whisk until it is thick and luscious. Whisk in the Baileys and set aside.
2. Mix the coffee and whiskey together in a shallow dish. Dip the sponge fingers into this mixture and put a layer of them into a glass serving dish. Spread over a third of the mascarpone mixture and scatter with a third of the nuts and chocolate.
3. Repeat to make two more layers, finishing with a layer of cream scattered with nuts and chocolate. Chill for at least two hours before serving. This will keep well covered in the fridge for two to three days.
