By sandiB2010

Use a store-bought pound cake, sliced diagonally, as the crust of this dressed-up pie version of tiramisu. Whipped cream and chopped toffee garnish the pie, which is sure to shine on any dessert buffet table

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 1 (10.75-ounce) frozen pound cake, thawed
• 1 (8-ounce) package mascarpone or cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
• 1 (12-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed and divided
• 2 (1.4-ounce) English toffee candy bars, coarsely chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Stir together coffee and 3/4 cup warm water until coffee is dissolved. Cool.

Cut cake into 14 slices. Cut each slice in half diagonally. Place triangles in bottom and up sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pieplate. Drizzle coffee mixture over cake.

Beat mascarpone cheese, sugar, and chocolate syrup at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Add 2 1/2 cups whipped topping, and beat until light and fluffy.

Spread cheese mixture evenly over cake. Dollop remaining whipped topping around edges of pie. Sprinkle with candy. Chill 8 hours.
