With just a handful of ingredients and a few easy steps, you can create a dessert that looks and tastes like it came straight from a fancy bakery. But don't let its impressive appearance fool you – this dessert is incredibly easy to make and requires no baking whatsoever.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup brewed coffee of choice, slightly cooled
• 32 Oreo cookies, regular or double-stuffed

Chocolate Mascarpone Cream:

• 1 ½ cups heavy cream
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoon black cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
• 6 ounces mascarpone cheese, about ¾ cup

Oreo Espresso Whipped Cream:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
• 1 teaspoon espresso powder
• 3 Oreo cookies with the fillings removed, crushed

Toppings:

• Cocoa powder
• Crushed Oreos

Instructions:

To start, you'll need to gather your ingredients, including brewed coffee, Oreo cookies, heavy cream, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, black cocoa powder, vanilla bean paste, mascarpone cheese, and espresso powder. Once you have everything you need, it's time to get to work.

Begin by dipping half of the Oreo cookies in the brewed coffee and layering them in the bottom of a serving dish. This step not only adds a delightful coffee flavor to the dessert but also helps soften the cookies, making them perfectly tender with each bite.

Next, whip up the chocolate mascarpone cream by combining heavy cream, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, black cocoa powder, and vanilla bean paste until stiff peaks form. Then, gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until fully incorporated. Spoon half of the chocolate mascarpone cream over the layer of dipped Oreo cookies, spreading it evenly to cover the cookies completely.

Now comes the fun part – layering on more espresso-dipped Oreo cookies and topping them with the remaining chocolate mascarpone cream. The contrast of the rich chocolate cream against the espresso-soaked cookies is simply irresistible.

To add an extra dose of indulgence, whip up a batch of Oreo espresso whipped cream by combining heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla bean paste, and espresso powder until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top layer of mascarpone cream and sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies on top for a finishing touch.

Finally, dust the entire dessert with cocoa powder and more crushed Oreos for a beautiful presentation that's sure to impress. Then, pop the tiramisu in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and the cookies to soften even further.

When it's time to serve, slice into this heavenly dessert and watch as your guests' eyes light up with delight. Each bite is a symphony of flavors and textures, with the creamy mascarpone, rich chocolate, and crunchy Oreos coming together in perfect harmony.

So why wait for a special occasion to indulge in this decadent dessert? Whether you're celebrating a birthday, hosting a dinner party, or simply craving something sweet, Chocolate Oreo Tiramisu is the perfect way to treat yourself and your loved ones to a little slice of heaven.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Can I use instant coffee instead of brewed coffee?

A: While brewed coffee is preferred for its richer flavor, you can certainly use instant coffee if that's what you have on hand. Simply dissolve the instant coffee in water according to package instructions before dipping the Oreo cookies.

Q: Can I make this dessert ahead of time?

A: Absolutely! Chocolate Oreo Tiramisu actually tastes even better when made ahead of time, as it gives the flavors a chance to meld together. You can prepare it up to a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Q: Can I use regular cocoa powder instead of black cocoa powder?

A: Yes, you can use regular cocoa powder if black cocoa powder is not available. However, black cocoa powder adds a deeper, more intense chocolate flavor and a darker color to the dessert, so I highly recommend using it if you can find it.

Dietary Substitutions:

I love providing gluten and dairy free substitutions so that those with alternate dietary needs can enjoy my recipes to their fullest! These are subs that I have either used and continue to stock in my own home, or that have come highly recommended from others. I want your baking experience to be the best it can be, and avoiding gluten or dairy shouldn’t hinder that process in the slightest. 

Use Gluten Free Oreos instead of regular ones. Oreos are naturally vegan so there is no dairy in them.

The Banana Diaries has a recipe for a quick, 3-ingredient vegan mascarpone. 

Miyokos makes a wonderful cream cheese that would be an excellent dairy free base in this recipe. 

Silk Dairy Free Heavy Cream is a great option for the mascarpone cream filling.

Conclusion:

Chocolate Oreo Tiramisu is a dessert that's sure to impress even the most discerning palates. With its layers of rich chocolate mascarpone cream, espresso-dipped Oreo cookies, and Oreo espresso whipped cream topping, it's a true indulgence for the senses. So why not treat yourself and your loved ones to a little slice of heaven with this delightful dessert!
