Jake Cohen’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Tiramisu

Serves 10 to 12

1 pound full fat cottage cheese
1 pound mascarpone
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
2 cups heavy cream
2 (7-ounce) packages thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies (such as Tate’s)
1 cup strong brewed coffee
Cocoa powder, for garnish

1. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, mascarpone, sugar, and vanilla bean paste and purée until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl.

2. In another bowl, whisk the cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold in the whipped cream into the cottage cheese mixture to combine.

3. To assemble, spread 1/3 of the cream mixture on the bottom of a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Dip the chocolate chip cookies in the coffee mixture and line up over the cream. Repeat this process with another 1/3 of cream and soaked cookies, followed by the remaining cream. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

4. Using a fine-mesh sieve, dust the unsweetened cocoa over the tiramisu right before scooping and serving.
