Heart Pinata with Tiramisu Recipe

 That sounds like a fun and romantic dessert project! A heart-shaped piñata filled with tiramisu would make for a spectacular presentation. Here's how you could approach this:


 

For the Heart Piñata Shell:

  • Use tempered chocolate to create a hollow heart shape, or
  • Make a sugar work heart using isomalt for a clear, breakable shell, or
  • Create a white chocolate shell and paint it with colored cocoa butter

Chocolate Method:

  1. Melt and temper dark or white chocolate
  2. Use a heart-shaped mold (you might need to join two halves)
  3. Pour chocolate into mold, swirl to coat sides, pour out excess
  4. Repeat 2-3 times for proper thickness
  5. Let set completely, then carefully unmold

For the Tiramisu Filling:

  • Traditional tiramisu components: mascarpone, ladyfingers, coffee, cocoa
  • Consider making it in a more "spoon-friendly" consistency
  • You could do individual tiramisu cups inside the heart
  • Or create tiramisu "pearls" using spherification techniques

Assembly:

  1. Fill one half of the heart with your tiramisu preparation
  2. Seal the halves together with melted chocolate
  3. Decorate the outside as desired
  4. Present with a small hammer or have guests crack it open

Serving Tip: Place it on a large platter since it'll be messy when broken!

Are you planning this for a special occasion? I can help you refine any part of the process or suggest alternatives for the shell material.
