A simple no-alcohol Tiramisu recipe, using just whipped cream, mascarpone cheese, coffee, sugar, vanilla, and ladyfingers. Easy and quick to make so you can indulge in this incredibly rich, delicate, and creamy coffee-flavoured cake in no time!
Only if more Tiramisu cakes at restaurants and cafes are non-alcoholic, I would definitely be eating all my weight with it! But thankfully, a Tiramisu is actually very easy to make at home. Who needs to go out for desserts when you can quickly whip up this easy Tiramisu recipe without alcohol at home!?
A Tiramisu is surprisingly easy to make. It’s basically just about layering up the cake. You don’t even need to bake the cake. All you need is using Lady Fingers to create the sponge, and then layer it up with a whipped cream and mascarpone blend.
Lady Fingers
Most Tiramisu recipes you find online will tell you to use Savoiardi Lady Fingers. However, I couldn’t find them at my local Sainsbury’s so I got the Sponge Fingers instead. It worked just fine so I’d say don’t fuss over it!
FYI, Lady Fingers/Sponger Fingers are a type of biscuit that soaks up liquid and create a spongey cake-like texture. They’re called Lady Fingers because, well, they are shaped thinly like a lady’s fingers!
Anyway, Lady Fingers are a key ingredient when it comes to making a Tiramisu. You dip the Lady Fingers into a cup of coffee, and the Lady Fingers then soak up the coffee and transform into a coffee-flavoured sponge for the Tiramisu recipe. Remember to only dip the biscuit into the coffee instead of fully soaking it – it gets really soggy otherwise and won’t be able to hold up its shape!
Mascarpone Cream
As for the creamy layers, the cream is made with a blend of whipped double cream and mascarpone cheese, along with sugar and vanilla extract.
Now, all there’s left to do is layer up with the coffee-dipped Lady Fingers and the mascarpone cream. And here’s your Tiramisu! I like to dust the top with cocoa powder. If you fancy, why not add some shaved chocolate as topping as well! Once you’re done, put it into the refrigerator to chill for an hour before serving.
