Heavenly Eggless Tiramisu

Heavenly Eggless Tiramisu
Ingredients:
2 cups (500 gm) mascarpone cheese
1 cup heavy cream (or 1 1/4 cups to stretch the mascarpone mixture)
1/2 cup (about 100 gm) semi-sweet dark chocolate
1 cup strong espresso
3 to 4 T coffee liqueur such as Tia Maria or Kahlua
30 sponge fingers (or a 10″ sponge cake)
1/4 cup caster sugar
1/4 cup dark rum (or Marsala)
Garnish: chocolate shavings or powder
Method:
1. Mix the espresso with the coffee liqueur; chill.
2. Melt the chocolate with 1/2 cup cream over a double boiler; cool.
3. Whip the remaining 1/2 cup cream (or 3/4 cup but remember more cream will give volume but dilute the flavor of the mascarpone) until stiff.
4. Using a hand-held whisk (a stand mixer will be too strong), whip the mascarpone with the sugar and rum until just mixed. Do not over whisk or the cheese will curdle. Fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture. Chill until firm.
5. If using a sponge cake, cut into 3 layers about 1 cm thick. I used to cut the cake into 1/2 cm layers and sandwiched them with chocolate ganache. The result was the best tiramisu ever but was too much work because the thin sponge layers broke easily.
6. Lay a layer of 10 sponge fingers into a glass dish or bowl (or a slice of sponge cake on a serving plate), spoon about 1/3 of the espresso over the fingers to soak. Spread 1/3 of the chocolate ganache over the cake and then spread 1/3 of the mascarpone mixture over. Repeat and end with a layer of mascarpone.
7. Sieve a thick layer of choc powder over the tiramisu and/or garnish with choc shavings. Chill overnight or at least 12 hours.

Contributor: Ho Siew Loon Since young, I have always been a chocolate lover and eating chocolate always make me feel happy.

Looks better than heaven!
Yummyyyy!
Just in time! I was thinking of tiramisu this weekend :) thank you!
thanks bee for the shout out! make one tiramisu yourself this weekend!
This Tiramisu is terrific! I can’t wait to try it. What if I only have access to regular mascarpone, and not the premium one described in this post? Any suggestions?
it looks yummy.
Thanks for the pitcher, I got it yesterday. Really nice.
Wud like to try the recipe but can u help:
1 cup strong expresso. Not very clear abt this. Is it 1 cup of expresso powder or do I have to mix it to get 1 cup liquid expresso. do u know of any brand. thanks alot
hmmmm my favorite Tiiiiiiiramisuuuuuuu :)
must try!
One look at the delicious looking photo and I knew I wanted to make this dessert. It looks incredible!
Have some questions though: if you don’t have access to/can’t afford decent mascarpone cheese, could you substitute cream cheese?
Also, what size pan should be used? An 8-inch round or square glass dish? 9-inch? How deep should the pan be?
elizabeth: hmm. regular mascarpone will give you a regular tiramisu. still, better than nothing!
et: it’s liquid coffee, not the powder, for soaking the sponge fingers. make your choice of coffee, just stronger. I used local sabah-malaysian coffee + brazilian coffee, 2 1/2 tbsp to 1 cup.
rebecca: no no no, cream cheese can’t sub mascarpone, it just won’t be as good! cream cheese is heavy and slightly salty while mascarpone is very light, slightly sweet, smoother than butter and has a milky flavor.
9″ is good. square or round too is up to you but square will have more volume so the tiramisu will be lower but it’s ok. about 3 to 3.5″ deep is good. make sure it’s glass though or you won’t be able to see the layers. make it soon n tell me how it turned out!
i made it yesterday and daringly shared with my friends today for the first time! i must say it is really heavenly and will stick to this! lovely and wonderful!!!! thank you!
I’m so excited to try this recipe out~!
annie: makes me so happy tt you did it n liked it! it’s one of my best recipes, and guarded for years!
This is my favourite dessert.
Hi this looks so delicious, I keep wanting to make tiramisu but my mum freaks out about raw eggs so I usually end up not making it. I love the look of this recipe but Im in the UK and dont understand the measurements! Ive looked for converters but they are not very clear. Could you please tell me the grams and millilitre equivalent of the ingredients please? I’d be so grateful.
Hi Terrie, would love to try this! Can I ask a silly question? Does 3-4 T of coffee liqueur means tablespoon or teaspoon?
Tablespoon.
Hi, Happy New Year! Would you please be so kind to share with me of how to prepare chocolate ganache for this Tiramisu. Thanks, Monica.
