The Method

1
Crumble the injera into small pieces and place them in a bowl. Pour the coffee liqueur (and optional brewed coffee) over the crumbled injera, ensuring it's evenly soaked. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the liquid.
2
In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese with the sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
3
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
4
To assemble the tiramisu, layer the soaked injera at the bottom of your serving glasses or dish. Spoon a layer of mascarpone cream over the injera.
5
Repeat the layers: soaked injera and mascarpone cream, ending with a layer of cream on top.
6
Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
7
Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.

Chef's Tips

Adjust the amount of coffee liqueur to your taste preference. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less liqueur and more strong coffee.

For a richer flavor, use full-fat mascarpone cheese and heavy cream.

If you can't find injera, you can try using a gluten-free sponge cake or ladyfingers, but the texture and flavor will be different.

For a more intense coffee flavor, you can add a teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the mascarpone cream.
