Ingredients
| ½ | cup strong coffee (made from instant is fine) |
|---|---|
| 3 | tablespoons rum (dark or light) |
| 2 | (3 ounce) packages ladyfingers |
| ½ | gallon coffee ice cream, softened on microwave's defrost setting for 1 minute |
| 4 | ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely grated |
| 1 | (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese |
| 3 | tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur |
| 1 | tablespoon sugar |
| ⅓ | cup half-and-half |
Instructions
| 1. | Prepare a mixture of strong coffee and rum. Line a 2-quart metal loaf pan with plastic wrap, ensuring an overhang. Use a pastry brush to delicately brush the coffee and rum mixture onto the ladyfingers. Proceed by lining the bottom and sides of the pan with ladyfingers, ensuring the rounded side is facing outward. |

| 2. | Set aside 1/2 cup of grated chocolate for garnish. Stir the remaining chocolate into the softened coffee ice cream. Transfer the ice cream mixture into the prepared loaf pan, gently pressing it down using a rubber spatula to create an even layer. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze for a minimum of 2 hours or up to 5 days. |
| 3. | When you are ready to serve, combine mascarpone cheese, coffee flavored liqueur, and sugar, mixing until smooth. Gradually whisk in the half-and-half to achieve a thick yet pourable sauce. Unmold the dessert by using the overhanging plastic wrap to lift it from the pan, then carefully peel away the wrap. Slice the tiramisu gelato loaf, drizzle with the prepared sauce, and sprinkle with the reserved grated chocolate. |
