Instructions for the Chocolate Chip Cookie Tiramisu:

• Brew 1 cup of espresso and let it cool slightly.
• In a shallow dish, pour the cooled espresso.

  • For the Brown Sugar Mini Chip Mascarpone Cream Filling:
  • In a mixing bowl, whip 1 ½ cups of heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  • Add ⅓ cup packed brown sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold in 6 ounces of mascarpone cheese and ½ cup mini chocolate chips.
• Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the layer of cookies.
• Repeat the process with the remaining cookies and mascarpone cream.
  • For the Brown Sugar Espresso Whipped Cream:
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Can I use regular chocolate chip cookies instead of the cookie dippers?
• Absolutely! While the cookie dippers add a unique layer to the tiramisu, any crunchy chocolate chip cookie will work just fine.
• Can I substitute mascarpone cheese with cream cheese?
• While mascarpone cheese contributes to the authentic tiramisu flavor and texture, you can substitute it with softened cream cheese if needed. Just keep in mind that the taste and consistency may vary slightly.
• How long can I store Chocolate Chip Cookie Tiramisu in the refrigerator?
• Chocolate Chip Cookie Tiramisu can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. However, for the best taste and texture, it's recommended to consume it within 2 days of preparation.
