    Classic Tiramisu Recipe

    About Tiramisu

    Tiramisu (Italian: tiramisù from tirami su, "pick me up" or "cheer me up") is a coffee-flavoured Italian dessert. It is made of ladyfingers (savoiardi) dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar, and mascarpone cheese, flavoured with cocoa. The recipe has been adapted into many varieties of cakes and other desserts.

    Tiramisu which literally means Pick Me Up, One of the famous italian dessert. If you taste it once, i am sure you will pick it up wherever you get a chance too. It is that good. Many of us think that making this at home is quite complicated, but it is not. If you follow this recipe, you can make a fairly decent tiramisu right in your kitchen. 

    Easy Tiramisu Recipe without Eggs

    Normally they use egg yolks and alcohol in tiramisu, But i left both of them and made a eggless version. You can never say it is completely eggless because of the ladyfinger, they have eggs in them. But if you want to make it completely eggless, instead of ladyfinger, you can use any eggless cakes. It will still taste good.

    I prefer tiramisu made without eggs more than the other one. Because it is easy to make and still it is indulgent and delicious.

    The real star of this cake is the coffee and mascarpone cheese. Coffee and mascarpone marries really well together and it really makes this cake unique.

    Ingredients for Tiramisu

    Italian Ladyfinger Biscuits / Savoiardi 

    Lady finger is also called as Savoiardi, which is a delicious dry hard biscuits made using eggs, sugar, flour. This ladyfinger biscuits doesn't have any fat in them. So the biscuits turn out dry which helps in absorbing the coffee mixture.

    Whipping Cream 

    Use full fat whipping cream for richer taste and texture.

    Homemade Mascarpone Cheese

    Even though you can get perfect mascarpone cheese at stores. Making mascarpone at home is very easy and just needs 2 ingredients. Follow my recipe for that.

    Powdered Sugar / Confectioners sugar

    Icing sugar adds the thickness and sweetness to the dessert.

    Instant Coffee or Strong coffee

    Coffee is the predominant flavour in a tiramisu. So use good quality coffee.

    Dark Chocolate  and Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

    Mainly used for decoration.

    How to Make Individual Serving Tiramisu 

    This recipe is quite same as much tiramisu recipe, but it is more like individual serving and made in a beautiful trifle glass or any stem glasses. I loved this version more than that, because it looked more cute and photogenic.
     
    Pin

    The cool thing about this trifle is, it is easily portable. If you are having a picnic, you can assemble this in jam jars, pop a lid, refrigerate it overnight, now you can take them where ever you need to and it is very handy as well. I learnt this trick on youtube jam jar cake ideas.

    Another great thing this, unlike other tiramisu which takes lots of hours to set, this one sets in a hour or a couple of hours. So you can enjoy it as soon as possible.. 

    Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    1)Can we Over Whip Cream?

    Don't over whip the cream and mascarpone cheese because it will make the separate and curdle.

    2)Can we make tiramisu eggless?

    If you want it completely eggless, instead of ladyfinger, you can use any eggless sponge cake. It may not be the traditional, but still it will taste great.

    3)Which cheese is used in tiramisu?

    You can leave out whipping cream in this recipe and just use the mascarpone cheese mix alone. But whipping cream makes the cream layer lighter and tastier. 

    4)Do you need alcohol in tiramisu?

    You can make the coffee as strong as you like, you can even add few splashed of coffee liquor or any rum in the coffee liquid

      Hello Aarthi,
      In your mascarpone recipe can you tell the fat percentage of the cream you used. Was it 30% fat or 36%?
      Thanks in advance.

      Arthi, I have become a fan of your recipes because a) they are easy and b) they are made with easily available ingredients in India without relying on exotic and hard to source ingredients. I had caught the cooking bug when I was in US but after moving back to India got disappointed with lack of all those fancy ingredients. now your blog has rekindled my interest in cooking once again and I will definitely be trying a lot of your recipes. Thanks once again!
