tiramisu
This sweet tiramisu has no eggs but (taste). No alcohol. Follow these few steps to make tiramisu, and no confusion will be left.
Ingredients
For the Cream Filling:
1 cup (250g) mascarpone cheese (or cream cheese)
1 cup (240ml) heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Coffee Soak:
1 ½ cups (360ml) strong brewed coffee (or hot chocolate for a kid-friendly version)
2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
2 tablespoons coffee syrup
For the Layers:
24 ladyfingers (or sponge cake slices)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder (for dusting)
Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Before We Start
Use chilled heavy cream for a thick and fluffy texture.
Don’t soak ladyfingers too long—just a quick dip to avoid sogginess.
Let tiramisu chill for at least 4 hours for the best flavor.
Instructions
Make the Cream Filling
Step 1: Take a bowl, pour heavy cream, and beat it until soft peaks form.
Step 2: Take another bowl, add mascarpone, sugar, and vanilla essence, and mix until smooth.
Step 3: Mix the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture. Fold it in.
Dip the Ladyfingers
Step 4: Take a shallow dish, add coffee, sugar, and coffee syrup, and mix it.
Step 5: Dip each ladyfinger quickly into this mixture of coffee and set aside.
Assemble the Tiramisu
Step 6: Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in a dish. (Assemble in a serving dish.)
Step 7: Spread half of the cream mixture over the ladyfingers.
Step 8: Then repeat it again—arrange the ladyfingers over it and spread the mixture again. The last layer should be cream, not ladyfingers.
Chill & Done
Step 9: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best taste and texture.
Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and add chocolate sprinkles for good presentation, just like its taste.
