How to make Best No Bake Tiramisu Cake Recipe

Prepare the Golden Yolk Base

  1. Step 1

    Combine the egg yolks and sugar in a heat-proof bowl. This step is crucial for that classic rich flavor.

Cook the Mixture

  1. Step 1

    Place the bowl over a pot of boiled water using the double boiler method. Whisk constantly for about 10 minutes until the mixture becomes pale, light, and creamy. Don't stop whisking, or the eggs might scramble!

Fold in the Mascarpone

  1. Step 1

    Remove the yolk mixture from the heat. Add the cold mascarpone and gently fold it in until smooth for a signature tang and creaminess.

Whip the Cream

  1. Step 1

    In a separate clean bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. It should be firm enough to hold its shape on a spoon.

Assemble the Layers

  1. Step 1

    Dip each ladyfinger cookies quickly into the room-temperature espresso. Arrange a layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of your serving dish.

  2. Step 2

    Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone-egg yolk mixture over the cookies.

  3. Step 3

    Add a fluffy layer of whipped cream on top. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of whipped cream.

The Final Touch

  1. Step 1

    Using a sieve, dust unsweetened cocoa powder over the top layer for a bitter contrast to the sweet cream.

Rest and Chill

  1. Step 1

    Refrigerate the Tiramisu cake for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the ladyfingers to soften into a cake-like texture and the flavors to meld together perfectly.

Tips & Tricks

  1. Ensure the espresso is at room temperature before dipping the ladyfinger cookies to avoid them becoming soggy.

  2. Whisk the egg yolks constantly during cooking to prevent scrambling.

  3. Use a sieve for even cocoa powder dusting to achieve a professional look.

FAQS

  1. Can I use instant coffee instead of espresso?

    Yes, you can use instant coffee as a substitute for espresso, but ensure it is strong to maintain the bold flavor.

  2. How long can I store the Tiramisu?

    Tiramisu can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

  3. Can I make this recipe without eggs?

    Yes, you can skip the egg yolks and use whipped cream and mascarpone for a simpler version, but it won't have the traditional custard base.

  4. Can I freeze Tiramisu?

    Yes, you can freeze Tiramisu for up to 1 month. Thaw it in the refrigerator before serving.

  5. What type of dish is best for assembling Tiramisu?

    A rectangular or square dish works best for layering the ladyfingers and cream evenly.
