Why make this tiramisu recipe without alcohol?

For a lot of reasons! This makes it easier for everyone to enjoy, whether they don’t consume alcohol, for age related reasons, if you don’t have any liquor on hand.

This specific tiramisu is also an eggless tiramisu recipe, so that’s another reason everyone can enjoy this, whether they are immunocompromised, pregnant, young, whatever the case. Also, it makes it easier to make instead of having to worry about whisking the egg yolks into a custard.

This is the easiest take on on tiramisu you could make, and it’s gotten rave reviews from everyone who has tried it! There’s no custard making, no egg whipping, no technical business.

This tiramisu without alcohol or eggs gets better with time. if you think this is good the same day, wait till you have it after it’s chilled overnight. The lady fingers become fluffier and more sponge like and all the flavors just soak in.

It’s fluffy and creamy and light. It doesn’t taste too heavy at all, and isn’t stiff like some tiramisu made with gelatin can be. I like serving this in scoops rather than slices!

What is in an egg- free, alcohol-free tiramisu?

Lady fingers (or savoiardi biscuits): the traditional Italian biscuits that get soaked in the espresso/coffee mix. These are wonderful because they become sponge like and fluffy after soaking, and are mildly sweet.

Heavy Cream (whipping cream): This is what gives us that lovely creaminess without making an egg based custard.

Sweetened Condensed Milk: Just a little bit to sweeten the heavy cream and add a little richness. I loved the way it turned out with this. You can also use powdered (icing) sugar to sweeten instead.

Vanilla extract

Creme Caramel Powder: This is my secret ingredient! It gives depth to the heavy cream when you whip it in, a little sweetness, a little richness. You can definitely leave it out, and perhaps add a little more sweetened condensed milk or icing sugar to the cream, but I do recommend trying it.

Mascarpone cheese: Mascarpone cheese is an Italian cheese that’s like a double or triple cream cheese. It’s made with whole cow’s milk and is richer and silkier than regular cream cheese. It’s whipped in with the heavy cream and gives so much body to it.

However, if you can’t find or don’t want to purchase it, you can substitute cream cheese in this recipe. I do prefer mascarpone, but cream cheese will still be very tasty.

Cocoa powder: for dusting the top and giving that signature slightly bitter taste at the end. Both the natural (Hershey’s) and dutch processed cocoa (the darker European stuff) will work just fine.

Espresso or Coffee for soaking: Tiramisu is traditionally made with espresso. I will have you know I made this with regular Nescafe instant coffee powder and it was fantastic. So if you don’t want to get instant espresso just for this, sub some strong instant coffee. If you have an espresso machine at home, you can also brew espresso, and let it cool slightly and use that for dipping.

How to make a tiramisu without alcohol:

1. Make the cream: Whip together the heavy cream, creme caramel powder, vanilla extract, and sweetened condensed milk until stiff peaks form. You can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer for this.
2. Then, add the mascarpone cheese and whip until thick and fluffy and peaks hold their shape, but not so much the the mascarpone churns and turns into butter.
3. Dip the lady fingers: Dip the lady fingers into a cooled strong espresso/coffee mixture.
4. Layer: You’ll need one layer of dipped lady fingers followed by half the cream mixture, another layer of dipped lady fingers, then the remainder of the cream.
5. Dust: The final step is to give tiramisu its signature cocoa dusted top. I recommend using a mini sieve to get a nice even coating all over without any lumps.

How to store leftover non alcoholic tiramisu:

Cover leftover tiramisu and keep in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. It’ll stay delicious throughout! It can also be frozen for up to 3 months, tightly wrapped. Thaw in the fridge before enjoying.

Recipe and tricks:

• Whip enough but not too much: You want to whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks, but once the mascarpone goes in, whip until firm and thick and a nice creamy texture. Don’t over whip when the mascarpone goes in so it doesn’t turn into butter, it shouldn’t take long at all.
• Since there is no raw egg in the tiramisu cream, you can taste throughout. Try the cream after adding the condensed milk and see if you feel like you want to add extra sweetness.
• Don’t over dip the lady fingers: You want to get the lady fingers wet, but just wet. No need to soak them or they’ll fall apart in the tiramisu. Just a quick dip to get the cookies wet, then into a baking dish.
