    What is Tiramisu

    Tiramisu is a famous no-bake Italian dessert that has become very popular all over the world. There are many varieties out there, but it is mainly made from lady or sponge fingers dipped in coffee, mascarpone or heavy cream/whipping cream, eggs and a touch of rum.

    It is heavenly flavourful and at its best served chilled from the fridge. I find that the cake tastes even better the following day l make it, as the flavours are even more intense.

    It is a posh dessert, so it can definitely be a winner if you serve it at a very special occasion. Why not have a super easy Tiramisu recipe without alcohol and raw eggs, and you get the perfect treat every single time. In this way you cater for people you do not drink alcohol, and people who avoid raw eggs.

    I am not a coffee lover, yet l just love the subtle taste of coffee, its bitterness makes a lovely combination with the sweetness of the cream.

    HOW TO MAKE ALCOHOL FREE TIRAMISU

    My Tiramisu is great to share with everyone, since it's alcohol-free, so kids and people who do not drink alcohol will be delighted to have a good slice of the cake. I must say, I have tried the closer version to the authentic Tiramisu, with alcohol and raw eggs, and I can't really tell much of a difference.

    The recipe was made when I was pregnant, and since raw eggs had to be avoided no matter what, I thought I could come up with a recipe that is pregnancy friendly. Cravings will be cravings, hey!

    • add the expresso coffee to a cup of boiling water, give it a stir, then leave to cool down completely
    • add the cream to a large bowl, and use a hand mixer to beat everything until it holds stiff peaks
    • add the mascarpone cheese and icing sugar, and mix again
    • line a baking tray or large dessert plate with non-stick paper
    • quickly dip each sponge finger in the cold coffee, then arrange each of them in one layer
    • spread half of the cream over, and sprinkle with cocoa powder
    • arrange the rest of the sponge fingers, and repeat with cream and cocoa powder
    • refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight

    It's such an easy recipe, and apart from cooling the coffee, it can be ready in 10 minutes only! Festive season, Valentine's Day, birthdays or any other celebrations, this tiramisu is perfect for them all!

    If you like desserts with sponge fingers, how about my CHARLOTTE CAKE? No bake too, and as delicious!

    Ingredients
    • 2 packets lady/sponge fingers (125 g each packet)
    • 250 g mascarpone cheese
    • 300 ml whipping cream
    • ½ cup icing sugar
    • 1 teaspoon instant coffee
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
    • 1 cup boiling water
    Metric - US Customary
    Instructions
    1. Pour boiled water into a wide bowl and add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee. Stir and then leave the coffee to cool completely.

    2. Use an electric mixer to beat the whipping cream until it holds stiff peaks.
    3. Add the mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract and icing sugar, and beat again.

    4. Dip each lady/sponge finger one by one into the coffee for 1 second, making sure it's soaked, but not soggy. We want them to hold their shape.

    5. Arrange the sponge fingers on a plate, then have a layer of the cream mixture, sprinkle half of the cocoa powder, another layer of sponge fingers, and repeat until all the ingredients have been used, but make sure the top has the cream on.

    6. Sprinkle cocoa powder on top.

    7. Chill in the fridge for a few good hours, ideally overnight.

      Can I use normal powdered sugar instead of vanilla sugar. I don’t get that in my country. Thanks

        Of course, the vanilla one is for extra flavour, but you can make it with simple powdered sugar.

      Why do the ingredients say 1 cup instant coffee when the recipe uses only a tsp of it? Am I missing something?

      Thank you- Karis

      Hi I’m trying this today but I have a question ...
      You said beat the whipping cream with electric beater until it’s stiff. Then add the mascarpone and heavy cream then mix for another minute, does it mean with the electric beater as well or just fold it?

      Hello Daniela,
      I am very happy you have a recipe of a tiramisu cake that is alcohol and egg free. I am getting ready to make this cake tomorrow for my daughter's birthday, who is now expecting her first baby. I have just one question: did you home made the "vanilla powdered sugar" or does this product actually exist in the grocery store? I went shopping yesterday for the ingredients and could not find the powdered sugar with vanilla flavor... anywhere. Could you please give me the name of the grocery store?

      Thank you,
      Lily

        Hello Lily, thank you for your comment. The vanilla powdered sugar is very popular in Eastern Europe, so it’s easily available in any shops over there. But it’s completely optional, regular icing/confectioners’s sugar can be user instead, and a touch of vanilla extract.

        Absolutely! Double the amount if all ingredients, it will definitely work.
