Tiramisu Cake Without Alcohol
A delightful twist on the classic Italian treat, this Tiramisu Cake Without Alcohol features layers of rich mascarpone cream and coffee-soaked ladyfingers, topped with cocoa powder.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 packs Ladyfingers (about 28-30 pieces)
- 1 cup Coffee, cooled (strong brewed coffee works best)
- 16 oz Mascarpone cheese (about 2 cups)
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- to taste Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
- to taste Chocolate shavings (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preparation
- Brew 1 cup of strong coffee and let it cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Then, gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until combined.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee, ensuring not to oversoak them. They should be moist but not falling apart.
- In a rectangular dish or cake pan, start layering. Place a single layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom, followed by half of the mascarpone mixture. Repeat with another layer of ladyfingers, finishing with the remaining mascarpone on top.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
- When ready to serve, dust the top liberally with cocoa powder and add chocolate shavings if desired. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are Halal-compliant. Store leftover cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month. Thaw overnight before serving. Always top with fresh cocoa powder for best flavor.
