| Chef Anna making Nutella Whipped Cream for Nabatella Twi'lekmisu aka Nutella Tiramisu |
My daughter, Chef Anna, is a Tiramisu connoisseur. Every year on her birthday, she requests I make it for her. Some years it's Amaretti Tiramisu, other years it's Boston Creme Tiramisu or Nutella Tiramisu.
This year was different. She asked me to "teach" her how to make it as part of her rite of passage. And that means I get to hear her lovely voice singing away as she cooks/bakes and I will be enjoying delicious food! (Did I mention she even cleans up her messes?)

Nabatella Twi'lekmisu (Nutella Tiramisu) Recipe
Chef Anna requests homemade Tiramisu for her birthday most years. She enjoys Amaretti, Boston Creme, and Nutella Tiramisu. This year for her 13th Birthday, she helped make a Star Wars version called Nabatella Twi'lekmisu - Nutella Tiramisu. It's so flavorful and delicious, it makes most other Tiramisu pale in comparison.
Ingredients
- 2 boxes (Trader Joes) Soft Lady Fingers Cookies
- 2 cups of Don Francisco Hazelnut Cream Coffee
- 2-4 Tablespoons Frangelico Liqueur
- 1 lb. Mascarpone Cheese
- 6 Egg Yolks (save egg whites for Cloud City Cookies/Meringue Cookies)
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 1 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 cups Nutella
- 3 cups Heavy Cream
- Enough for decor, if desired (optional) Whipped Cream or Chocolate Shavings
Instructions
Honestly, this tastes best if you make it the day before. With that in mind, my Nutella Whipped Cream, you need to make up at least 4 hours before assembly of the tiramisu. 1. Warm heavy cream in bowl or pan. Stir in Nutella until it melts into the cream and both are well blended together. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 4-6 hours, as you need this very cold before you whip it. Once it's very cold, whip it until stiff peaks form, but be careful not to over-whip it. It will be somewhat the texture of a mousse. 2. Make 2 cups of Hazelnut Cream coffee and allow to cool to room temp. Add 2-4 Tablespoons of Frangelico Liqueur (depending on your taste). Set aside. 3. Whisk egg yolks together with milk until well blended. Then add in sugar. Cook in a heavy pan and stir with a wooden spoon until thickened...this usually requires you bringing it to a gentle boil for about 1 minute (stirring the entire time). Remove from heat. Add vanilla extract. Pour into a bowl and add 1 lb of mascarpone cheese and whisk until completely blended. Cover with plastic wrap touching the top of the custard, so no skin forms. Refrigerate. 4. To assemble the Twi'lekmisu (Tiramisu) get all your products out of the refrigerator and place on counter. Using a 13x9 pan, quickly dip each Lady Finger into the coffee/liqueur combo and place a layer in the bottom of the pan. Then spread a layer of half the mascarpone custard. Follow this with a layer of half the Nutella Whipped Cream. Repeat all the steps. Refrigerate the twi'lekmisu overnight. Serve the next day/evening with Whipped Cream or shave chocolate on top for decor if you desire. Honestly, it's perfect without any decor! Buon Appetito!
