My Recipe Box - Tiramisu

 This is an easy, no-bake tiramisu recipe. No mascarpone or egg yolks involved!

Prep Time 15 minutes

Additional Time 3 hours

Total Time 3 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream

⅓ cup granulated sugar

1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract

8 oz cream cheese (room temperature)

1 cup cold espresso or strong black coffee

2 tbsp coffee liqueur (such as Kahlua)

1 8 oz package ladyfinger cookies (12-14 cookies depending on your pan) gluten free

¼ cup cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment combine the heavy whipping cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla. Whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. (Keep an eye on the mixture being careful not to overbeat.)

Stir or whisk in the cream cheese. Set aside. 

In a large, shallow bowl combine the espresso and liqueur. One by one, dip both sides of the ladyfinger cookies into the mixture and arrange them across the bottom of an 8x8 dish. 

Spread half of the cream cheese mixture on top of the ladyfingers, forming an even layer. 

Repeat both steps a second time; add another layer of dipped ladyfingers followed by the remaining cream cheese mixture. Create and even spread across the top of the pan. 

Dust cocoa powder across the top of the dish, completely covering it with a generous dusting. 

Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to a full day.
