Coffee:
If you are not a regular coffee drinker and don’t already have some in your home, you can always grab an espresso at your local coffee shop! If you are avoiding caffeine, you can always use decaf.
Alcohol Options:
We are making our tiramisu alcohol-free, but you can add up to 3 tablespoons of dark rum to the cream mixture, and 3 tablespoons of rum to the espresso mixture.
Ladyfingers:
You should be able to find ladyfingers in most grocery stores, but we have come across a few stores that don’t keep them in stock. If you can’t find them, you can always order them online. Substitution options include sponge cake, pound cake, or biscotti.
Can I make Decadent Tiramisu eggless?
Absolutely! You can simply skip the first step with the eggs and sugar, and only use the homemade whipped cream. Make sure to use the full 1/2 cup of sugar when whipping the heavy cream if you omit the eggs.
Mascarpone Substitute:
Traditional tiramisu must use mascarpone, but if you have trouble finding it you can substitute with cream cheese. The flavor and consistency will be affected if you do this. Whichever you use, make sure that it is full-fat. Using a low-fat mascarpone or cream cheese can result in a runnier custard.
Make Ahead Instructions:
Tiramisu can be made 2-3 days in advance. Simply keep it in your fridge until you’re ready to eat! If you like this recipe, you may be interested in these other delicious dessert recipes:
