    Easy to make, this delicious Tiramisú recipe, has no raw eggs and is kid friendly.

    tiramisú window

    Tiramisú means ‘pick me up’ and dates possibly from the 1960’s. Similar to the Zuppa Inglese (like the English trifle), this popular Italian dessert is made in layers creating a wonderful depth of flavours.

    The sweetened mascarpone, coffee, almond syrup, and chocolate come together beautifully while the Savoiardi balances the texture perfectly.

    Egg-free Tiramisú

    While most Tiramisú recipes contain raw eggs, this version is lighter and easier to digest, making a better ending to a meal, rather than the heavier version using egg yolks.

    Savoiardi

    Savoiardi (Italian sponge fingers, or Ladysfingers), are most commonly used, but you could substitute with slices of panettone or madeleines. As Savoiardi  are dry, they soak up a large amount of  coffee mixture, so the flavours blend beautifully and the dessert remains light.

    Take care to only dip the Savoiardi very briefly in the coffee as any longer than a second will cause it to fall apart.

    It is best to just make two layers as any more might make the Tiramisú difficult to slice.

    Tip to whip the cream

    A great tip to whip cream quickly, is to start with cold cream.  Chill the bowl and whisk beforehand for approximately 15 minutes (metal utensils chill best). This will ensure the cream remains cold while it is being whipped.

    How to make it

    Tiramisú can either be made in a large dish or in individual glasses to show the different layers.

    1. In a large bowl, whisk the mascarpone till smooth and creamy.
    2. Whip the cream till it makes soft peaks. (see above for tip).
    3. Add the condensed milk and the vanilla essence, then fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
    4. Pour the coffee into a shallow bowl, and mix in the syrup (if using).
    5. Dip a Savoiardi very briefly in the coffee and line the bottom of an 8-inch square glass dish. Continue with half the packet of Savoiardi to make the first layer.
    6. Top with a ladleful or two of the mascarpone mixture, and cover with a sprinkling of cocoa powder using a small tea strainer.
    7. On top of this layer, repeat the process of dipping each Savoiardi in the coffee mixture and forming a second layer. Then layer with mascarpone mixture and sprinkled with more cocoa powder.
    8. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the coffee mixture to soak through the Savoiardi  and flavours to come together.

    How to serve it

    Before serving, sprinkle chocolate shavings on top.

    Serve Tiramisú chilled.

      I’ve never tried tiramisu without eggs before I’m interested to try it, it’s a great option for people who can’t eat eggs!

      this is an all time favorite of mine. There is something about this dessert that always makes me swoon. Of course I always add a little rum to the coffee, maybe that’s why 🙂
