Our melt-in-your-mouth version of the popular chilled Italian-style dessert, Tiramisu, is made with ladyfinger cookies that are flavored with instant coffee granules and liqueur, layered in creamy filling and topped off with a dusting of cocoa.
What You'll Need
- 1 cup warm water
- 4 teaspoons instant coffee granules
- 1/4 cup coffee-flavored liqueur
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (8-ounce) container mascarpone cheese (see Note)
- 1/2 cup refrigerated egg substitute
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup (1/2 pint) heavy cream
- 2 (3-ounce) packages ladyfingers
- 1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa
What to Do
- In a small bowl, combine the water, coffee granules, liqueur, and vanilla; stir to dissolve the coffee then set aside. In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, egg substitute, and sugar until smooth; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold half of the whipped cream into the cheese mixture until thoroughly combined.
- Line the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish with one package of ladyfingers, slightly overlapping to fit. Spoon half of the coffee mixture over the ladyfingers. Spoon half of the cheese mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
- Layer with the remaining package of ladyfingers and repeat with the coffee mixture and cheese mixture. Spoon the whipped topping over the top and sprinkle with the cocoa. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours before serving.
Note:
Mascarpone cheese is a fresh Italian double cream cheese that is buttery smooth in texture and can often be found in supermarket deli departments. If it's not available, you can substitute cream cheese beaten with a little milk until creamy and smooth.
Notes
-
If you prefer not to use egg substitute, you may alternatively use 2 eggs (just mix with a whisk before adding).

If you don't want too use egg substitute, you can get pasteurized eggs in some stores. That way, you don't have to worry about them being raw. I can't wait to make this for myself and my friend, who's favorite dessert is Tiramisu. Thank you!

Use the crisp one, the soft ones will become soggy. I like Balocco Savoiardi brand. Available in an Italian deli or online.

Do not believe we've tasted any better @ any high end restaurants! Wonderful, easy, quick. Have always wanted to make @ home....glad I tried Mr. Food's version. I used 2 whole beaten eggs for the sub.......I guess he used the sub for people who are afraid of the raw egg thing....not I. This looked absolutely beautiful when cut, just like Mr. Food's. Will be impressive for company as well. My hubby is ga-ga over it! Thanks!
