Olive Garden Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert. Espresso, chocolate, and mascarpone cheese makes for a delightful and uplifting dessert. This dessert has been on the menu at the Olive Garden as long as I can remember. One of the best things about this dessert is that you actually should make it a day or so ahead of time, this way you aren’t rushed the day you have your friends and family over for that special meal!

Olive Garden Tiramisu
You can make this rich and creamy Italian dessert that will taste a lot like the Olive Garden's
Ingredients
- 1 sponge cake (10 to 12" and about 3" tall)
- 3 ounces strong black coffee
- 3 ounces brandy or rum
- 1 and 1/2 pounds room temperature cream cheese or mascarpone (my pick)
- 1 and 1/2 cups superfine or powdered sugar
- unsweetened cocoa
Instructions
Cut across middle of sponge cake, forming two layers, each about 1 and 1/2 inches thick. Blend coffee and brandy. Sprinkle enough mixture over bottom half of cake to flavor it strongly. Don't moisten cake too much or it may collapse on serving. Beat room temperature cheese and 1 cup sugar until sugar is completely dissolved and cheese is light and spreadable. Test for sweetness during beating, adding more sugar if needed. On the cut surface of bottom layer, spread half of the cheese mixture. Replace second layer and top with remaining cheese mixture. Sprinkle top literally with sifted cocoa. Refrigerate cake for at least two hours before cutting and serving.
