Eggless Tiramisu

Ingredients...

- roughly 200g (24) Italian ladyfingers biscuits (savoiardi)
- 2 tsp cocoa powder
- fine sieve (for dusting cocoa powder)

(A) Cream mixture
- 250g mascarpone cheese
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 1 tbsp kahlua
- 2 tbsp thickened cream

(B) Coffee solution for dipping ladyfingers biscuits
- 4 tbsp espresso coffee (you can also use brewed instant coffee or canned coffee)
- 2 tbsp of coffee liquor such as kahlua

(C) Garnishing
- any berries (I’m using strawberries here)
- fine sieve and cocoa powder for dusting



How to...

1. In a large mixing bowl, mix ingredients (A) except thickened cream with a spatula till well combined. Then fold in the thickened cream till it is of a nice creamy consistency.

2. Mix ingredients (B) in a wide and shallow dish. Dip one lady fingers biscuit (halfway and quickly in the coffee solution to prevent it from becoming soggy) in the coffee solution you prepared in step 1. Arranged dipped lady fingers biscuit to form one layer of the cake.

3. Spread a layer of cream mixture you prepared in step 1 over the biscuits with the back of your spoon. Dust a thin layer of cocoa powder using a fine sieve.

4. Repeat steps 2 to 4 to form a second layer of cake. Cover with lid and chill the cake for a few hours till set. Slice and serve with fresh berries. You can also layer the strawberry slices after sieving the cocoa powder.


Taste equally great without the kahlua and definately safe for me as there is no raw egg!
