Method

For the Chocolate Stiletto

  1. 1

    Melt the Chocolate

    In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Melt over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mold

    Using a silicone stiletto mold, carefully pour the melted chocolate into the mold, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides. Use a brush or the back of a spoon to spread evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until set.

  3. 3

    Remove from Mold

    Once the chocolate has hardened, gently remove the stiletto from the mold by turning it inside out. Set aside.

For the Tiramisu Filling

  1. 4

    Prepare the Cream Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, and powdered sugar. Whip until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

  2. 5

    Dip Ladyfingers

    In a shallow dish, pour the cooled coffee. Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.

  3. 6

    Assemble the Tiramisu Layers

    Layer the dipped ladyfingers at the base of the chocolate stiletto. Spread a layer of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat the process, alternating layers until you fill the stiletto.

  4. 7

    Chill the Dessert

    Cover the stiletto with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the flavors to meld.

  5. 8

    Finish with Cocoa Powder

    Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder for an extra touch of flavor.
