Ingredients

  • 250 ml heavy cream (whipping cream) 1 cup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 creme caramel powder packet, optional (or caramel flan mix, about 1 oz)
  • 2-3 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk 3 will give you a sweeter cream, taste and adjust
  • 250 g mascarpone cheese 1 cup, about 8 oz
  • 1 pack of lady fingers 7 oz, 200g
  • 3 tablespoon instant coffee or espresso powder
  • 2 cups water
  • cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, creme caramel powder, and condensed milk. Use the whisk attachment and beat on medium high until stiff peaks form.
  • Add the mascarpone cheese and mix on medium speed until well combined, thick, and fluffy.
  • Dissolve the instant coffee or espresso powder in the water. It doesn't need to be that hot, but if you used hot water, cool the prepared coffee before using.
  • Dip the lady finger biscuits one at a time into the coffee mix briefly until the lady finger has just gotten wet. Layer one layer of dipped biscuits on the base of your serving dish (I use a pyrex dish 11x7 inches, but see notes for more pan sizes)
  • Spread half of the mascarpone cream on the lady fingers until even. Dip the remaining half of the lady fingers in the coffee like above, then layer a second layer of lady fingers on top of the cream.
  • Top the second layer of lady fingers with the remainder of the cream. Spread out evenly with a rubber spatula. Dust with cocoa powder evenly, then chill for at least 3-4 hours or preferably overnight.

Notes

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.
Taste the sweetness of the cream and adjust accordingly. You can also substitute icing sugar for the condensed milk.
Dip the lady fingers just until they soak up the coffee liquid before placing in serving dish, so they don't get overly wet and fall apart.
What size pan should I use? I used an 11x7 pyrex pan. You can also do this in a 9x9 square pan, or whatever you have on hand, that isn't too big so that the cream is enough to go around.
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.
