    What is 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. Check out my Chocolate Tiramisu Recipe

    About Eggless Tiramisu

    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.

    Eggless Tiramisu Ingredients

    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 Tiramisu Cake (Eggless)

    Make Coffee - Take hot water in a jug, add in coffee powder and mix well. Chill this up.

    Tiramisu Filling - Now take cream in a bowl and use a beater to whip it up till it is thick. Set aside. Take mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, 2 tbsp of coffee liquid in a mixing bowl. Use a beater to whip this up till it is thick.  Don't over beat or butter will be separated from this. Now fold over whipped cream in this very gently.

    Assembling - Now line ladyfingers in the tray, pour coffee liquid all over it so it is soaked. Spread the cream mix over this. Dip ladyfingers in coffee mix and arrange it all over the cream layer, spread another layer of the cream mix. Now pop this in fridge and let it set overnight or for 5 to 6 hours.

    Serving - Now use a small sieve to dust cocoa powder all over it, and grate some dark chocolate all over it. Slice and serve.

    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.

    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.

    How to Make Individual Tiramisu

    1)Take your Serving glasses.

    2)break a ladyfinger in the glass.

    3)pour coffee liquid all over it so it is soaked.

    4)Spread the cream mixture over this.

    5)Now break couple more ladyfinger and place over the cream gently.

    6)and pour coffee liquid over it.

    7)spread another layer of the cream mixture on top of the ladyfingers.

    8)Pop this in fridge and let it set for a hour or couple of hours.

    9)Now use a small sieve to dust cocoa powder all over it, and grate some dark chocolate all over it. Serve

    10)enjoy.

    11)Serve.

      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!
