My third attempt at tiramisu - Chocolate tiramisu

I found this recipe from a food blog. I thought it was interesting and tried it out. It turned out well. But, even though i love chocolate, i think i still like my tiramisu old school style.

The ingredients include:
200g dark chocolate (70%) - melt
3 medium eggs
250g mascarpone cheese
150g Italian sponge fingers (i used the whole 200g packet though and hence needed more coffee)
100 ml strong coffee
1 tbsp cocoa

-Beat yolks and add mascarpone. Mix through and add melted choc.
-Whip egg whites and add to the cheese mixture
-Dip sponge fingers into the coffee and turning it a couple of times and then arrange on dish
-Layer with the cheese mix. Add another layer of coffee-dunked sponge fingers and the rest of cheese mix.
-Dust with some sifted cocoa
-Refrigerate for 3-4 hours. Enjoy!

Final Product

You can change the chocolate to suit your liking. The tiramisu turned out really chocolatey and decadent. Only the Italian sponge fingers work for tiramisu, don't even bother buying other ones. Only a bit more of the tiramisu is left in the fridge.

On another note, i made banana cake for Fat's birthday today. But i screwed up the icing, it was too thick, i didn't put in enough lemon juice. And i've already eaten two slices of the cake. I feel like i've been eating too much, just shoving food up my trap. Laters.
