This easy tiramisu is made without raw eggs and no baking required. With creamy mascarpone layers and coffee-soaked ladyfingers, it’s a crowd-pleasing classic made simple.
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups heavy cream
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz mascarpone room temperature
- 1 ½ cups espresso or coffee, chilled
- 3 Tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur or dark rum, optional
- 1 package lady fingers I use Savoiardi
- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Add cream to mixing bowl and beat on medium-high speed, slowly adding sugar and vanilla, until soft peaks form.1 ¾ cups heavy cream, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Add mascarpone cheese and gently fold in with rubber spatula until combined. Set aside.8 oz mascarpone
- Add espresso and liqueur to a shallow dish, and dip the lady fingers in the coffee mixture, turning them quickly to wet both sides. Don’t over-soak them. Layer lady fingers in a single layer on the bottom of an 8x8 inch pan.1 ½ cups espresso, 3 Tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur, 1 package lady fingers
- Add half of the mascarpone mixture over the lady finger layer, and smooth with a spatula.
- Add another layer of coffee-dipped lady fingers, then add remaining mascarpone mixture and smooth.
- Dust cocoa powder generously over the top of the mascarpone mixture layer with a fine mesh strainer or sifter.2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- Cover and place in fridge to chill for at least 3 hours, or overnight before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use cold heavy cream for best whipping results. You can chill the mixing bowl and beaters to help.
- I have used both DeLallo and Bellino brand Savoiardi ladyfingers - both work well for this recipe.
- Only dip the ladyfingers briefly—don’t soak, or they’ll get soggy.
- Chill the tiramisu for at least 3 hours (overnight is even better).
- Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To freeze, wrap tightly and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and dust with a fresh cocoa powder coating before serving.
