Eggless Tiramisu
Check Out: Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe
This recipe is courtesy of my buddy Anemone who came over my place and taught me how to make tiramisu, a popular Italian dessert. Tiramisu literally meant “pick me up” thanks to the ingredients coffee, liquor and sugar. She had a lot of experience making tiramisu and she do not even need to refer to a recipe during the making. So I took advantage of her expertise and let her do most of the work while I’m just snapped some photos hehe. For convenience, we made the tiramisu directly in two 13x13cm square Lock&Lock containers so that we can lid and chill it right away. Both of us prefer the eggless version because we are not entirely comfortable with eating raw eggs and without eggs, it will also keep longer in the fridge. If you have a bit of leftover cream and ingredients from making the layered cake, serve the tiramisu in a glass (or ramekin) recipe which uses the same base tiramisu recipe.

1. In a large mixing bowl, mix mascarpone chese, vanilla extract, sugar and kahlua (coffee liquor) with a spatula until well combined. Then fold in the thickened cream until the mixture is of a nice creamy consistency. | |
2. Add espresso coffee and kahlua in a wide and shallow dish. Dip one lady fingers biscuit halfway lengthwise and quickly in the coffee solution. | |
3. Arranged dipped lady fingers biscuit within a food container to form one layer of the cake. Spread a layer of cream mixture you prepared earlier over the biscuits with the back of your spoon. | |
4. Dust a thin layer of cocoa powder using a fine sieve. | |
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 to form a second layer of cake. Cover with lid and chill the cake for a few hours till set. Slice and serve with fresh berries. | |
6. If you have leftover ingredients, serve the tiramisu in a ramekin or martini glass. Get the recipe here. |
Hi! for the caster sugar we only need 2tbsp? also, will it make a big difference if I’m using whipping cream instead of thickened cream?
Yup. If using whipping cream – whip until stiff peaks are formed before using.
Hi, may I know if it’s a must to use caster sugar? Will fine sugar do the job as well? Are there other biscuits to use other than ladyfinger biscuit?
It’s easier to mix everything evenly with super fine (caster) sugar, since this recipe is no-bake. It seems angel or pound cake are good substitutes for lady fingers biscuit. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061230134742AAua0G7
Thank you! :)
Just fyi…I tried the recipe but the (B) Coffee solution for dipping ladyfingers biscuits is too little.
not supposed to dip too much or else the lady fingers will be too soggy. But if not enough, feel free to make more as required; they can be done in a jiffy :)
Im from india and I dont know what is khalua and mascarpone cheese.
and is there any sustitute for ladyfinger biscuit
