Hi everyone…..My very first post for 2021. Thought of starting the year with a sweet dish. This is an easy and quick 10-minute tiramisu recipe. This tiramisu recipe takes all the fuss out of a classic tiramisu by simplifying the method while delivering you maximum delicious results!
Well, usually this dessert requires you to separate eggs, make a custard, then fold that into another mixture with whipped cream and mascarpone cheese — and that’s just the first step. Bottom line, all you need to make a killer tiramisu like this…. is fresh heavy dairy cream, mascarpone cheese, sugar, and good vanilla.
Now all you have to do with this recipe is whip these ingredients together, and layer with classic ladyfingers. I can promise you no one will be missing the eggs, especially because they’ll be too busy swooning over how gorgeous your tiramisu is.
Well, well, well….let’s jump straight to this recipe…..
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 cup Mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup Sugar
- 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp. Amaretto liquor or Brandy (optional)
- 2 cups Coffee, at room temperature
- 1 pack Ladyfingers (Boudoir biscuits/Savoiardi. Look for eggless if needed)
- Cocoa powder, for dusting on the top
Method
- Beat whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Add in mascarpone cheese and amaretto, if using, and continue to whip to stiff peaks.
- Dip ladyfingers in coffee and brandy, if using, and place in a glass bowl, preferably square, to make the first layer – you can fit about 7 ladyfingers in each layer. Don’t let them soak as they will fall apart, just a quick dunk in the coffee is enough.
- Spread half of the whipped cream mixture on top of the first layer of ladyfingers. Repeat process with the second layer of ladyfingers and cream mixture.
- Dust the top of dessert with cocoa powder using a sieve. Refrigerate for about 2-4 hours. It gets even better in the fridge and is a perfect make-ahead dessert.
- Serve delicious tiramisu chilled!!
