Tiramisu

This is the ultimate easy, no-cook tiramisu recipe, that doesn’t involve making the traditional egg custard or zabaglione. It is creamy, luscious, and addictive. Even my husband, who doesn’t like coffee, loves this!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 8 ounce container mascarpone cheese room temperature
  • cup sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla divided
  • 1 ½ cups cold espresso
  • 3 Tbsp rum or coffee flavored liqueur optional
  • 1 package gluten free lady fingers
  • cocoa powder for dusting the top
  • chocolate and white chocolate curls for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  1. In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment or a large bowl with an electric mixer, whisk the cold whipping cream on medium speed until soft peaks form. Then slowly add the sugar and 1 tsp vanilla and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in the room temperature mascarpone cheese until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
  2. Combine the coffee, 1 tsp vanilla, and rum or liqueur (if using) in a shallow bowl. Dip the lady fingers in the coffee mixture (don't soak them–just quickly dip them on both sides to get them wet) and lay them in a single layer on the bottom of an 8×8'' or similar size pan.
  3. Smooth half of the mascarpone mixture over the top. Add another layer of dipped lady fingers. Smooth remaining mascarpone cream over the top.
  4. Dust cocoa powder generously over the top (I use a fine mesh strainer to do this). Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to overnight before serving. If desired, garnish with chocolate and white chocolate curls.

Notes

May substitute the gluten free lady fingers with regular lady fingers.
