Tiramisu Recipes

This delicious and unbelievably easy Tiramisu recipe is made with coffee soaked lady fingers, sweet and creamy mascarpone (no raw eggs!), and cocoa powder dusted on top. It requires no baking and can be made in advance!

Who doesn’t love an easy no-bake dessert? That’s one of the best things about this tiramisu recipe. If you are looking quick no-bake dessert I also love No Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars and Butterscotch Cereal Bars.

This recipe has been a long time coming, and I’m embarrassed to admit how much tiramisu has been made in the trial of this recipe (I literally bought out every package of Savoiardi lady fingers at two different stores!) but I wanted to nail down the right approach.

By “right approach”, I mean how traditional of a tiramisu recipe I wanted to share. (In case you’re not familiar with it, Tiramisu is a popular Italian dessert made with lady fingers (or spongecake), coffee, liqueur, and mascarpone cheese topped with chocolate powder). Should I make the lady fingers from scratch? Does it matter? And more importantly, do I make it with raw eggs?

2. Add coffee and liqueur to a shallow bowl. Dip the lady fingers in the coffee (Don’t soak them–just quickly dip them on both sides to get them wet) and lay them in a single layer on the bottom of an 8×8” or similar size pan.
3. Smooth half of the mascarpone mixture over the top. Add another layer of dipped lady fingers. Smooth remaining mascarpone cream over the top.
4. Dust cocoa powder generously over the top (I use a fine mesh strainer to do this). Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or up to overnight before serving.

Nutrition Facts: calories 538 kcal, Carbohydrate 37 g, Protein 9 g, Fat 38 g, Saturated Fat 22 g, Cholesterol 271 mg, Sodium 95 mg, Fiber 1 g, Sugar 13 g, servingSize 1 serving

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups espresso ((or strong coffee), room temperature)
• 6 Tbsp golden rum (divided)
• 40 ladyfingers
• 6 egg yolks ((large))
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 16 oz mascarpone (cold)
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold*)
• 2-3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (to dust the top)

Instruction:

1. In a bowl, stir together 1 1/2 cups espresso and 3 Tbsp rum. Quickly dip half of the ladyfingers, one at a time and arrange in a single layer in the bottom of a 9×13 casserole dish. Dip once on each side so they are moist but do not soak ladyfingers or the cake will collapse.
2. In a separate rimmed* medium glass bowl, whisk together yolks and sugar. Place over steam (on a saucepan with simmering water) and whisk 10 minutes on low heat until the mixture is lighter in color, slightly thickened and not grainy when you rub between your fingers. Remove from heat and whisk for a few minutes off the heat to help it cool down then set aside to cool while doing step 3.
3. Beat together 16 oz mascarpone and 3 Tbsp rum. Use an electric hand mixer to beat in the warm yolk mixture until well incorporated.
4. In a separate bowl, beat cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form*. Use a spatula to gently fold half of the whipped cream into mascarpone cream then blend in remaining whipped cream, just until incorporated. Do not overfold or it will become grainy.
5. Spread half of the cream over the first layer of ladyfingers. Dip and arrange remaining ladyfingers. Spread remaining cream. Refrigerate overnight. Dust with cocoa powder before serving. It is ok to dust with cocoa ahead of time – it will just darken it in color from the moisture.

Yield: 12

Serving Size: 175 g

Nutrition Facts: calories 342 kcal, Carbohydrate 26 g, Protein 8 g, Fat 23 g, Saturated Fat 13 g, Cholesterol 151 mg, Sodium 82 mg, Fiber 1 g, Sugar 9 g, servingSize 175 g, Trans Fat 0.01 g, unSaturated Fat 3 g

Ingredients:

• 350 ml strong coffee (espresso)
• 4 raw eggs
• 100 gr granulated sugar
• 500 gr mascarpone cream cheese
• 300 gr ladyfingers cookies
• 2 tablespoons Marsala wine or dark Rum (optional)
• 30 gr cocoa powder (unsweetened cocoa powder is preferred)

Instruction:

1. To begin, take out the mascarpone cheese and the raw eggs from the fridge and leave them at room temperature for about 10 minutes (use a mascarpone mixture in place of whipped cream or heavy cream for a more authentic texture flavor).
2. In the meantime, prepare the espresso coffee. Once ready, pour into a shallow bowl or into a bowl large enough to be able to lay a ladyfinger cookie fully. Optional: Add the marsala or rum and mix. If you make the recipe for children or you don’t want to use alchol, don’t use it. Your tiramisù will be equally delicious!
3. Then, using two medium-large mixing bowls, separate the egg whites from the raw egg yolks. In the mixing bowl with the egg yolks, combine the yolks and sugar and whip the yolks with a kitchen mixer or an electric hand mixer until the mixture becomes creamy.
4. Add the mascarpone cheese to the egg yolk mixture and with the help of a spatula mix gently until all the ingredients have been incorporated.
5. In the second mixing bowl with the egg whites, whip the egg to form stiff peaks using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer. Then, with a spatula, take a bit of the stiff peaks of the egg white mixture and fold slowly into the yolk mixture. Gently bring the egg mixture up and turn it over back into the bowl. Repeat this folding action turning the bowl a bit as you go until the egg white mixture is fully incorporated and the resulting mixture is light and airy.
6. Cover the bottom of your baking dish with a layer of the cream mixture.
7. Now is the time to quickly dip a couple of lady fingers in the bowl with the coffee. Dip both sides of the cookie. This action should be quick enough to avoid soaking the cookies too much. If it’s your first time, start with just one lady finger first before proceeding with the others to get a sense of the timing.
8. Lay the coffee-soaked lady fingers on top of the first layer of the mixture in the baking pan. Repeat until the cookies cover the mixture entirely. Do not overlap the cookies.
9. Spread another layer of the mixture on top of the cookies.
10. Lay another layer of coffee-dipped lady fingers and cover the cookies with another layer of the mixture. Level the mixture with the spatula.
11. Place the tiramisu in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
12. Before serving, dust with cocoa powder. To do this, use a fine strainer sprinkle the cocoa powder on top of the tiramisu cake and serve.
