How To Make Easy Creamy Tiramisu

This Easy Creamy Tiramisu couldn't be any easier to make and uses just a few simple ingredients. You can whip it together in just 10 minutes!

1. In a mixing bowl, whip the cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
2. Add the mascarpone cheese and amaretto/rum and whisk together until well combined and fluffy.
3. Pour the cold coffee into a shallow dish and dip the Ladyfinger biscuits into the coffee before placing them in a serving dish creating a layer.
4. Once you have created a layer at the bottom of the serving dish, add a layer of the cream mixture over top the biscuits.
5. Repeat the biscuit and cream layers 1 - 2 times (depending on the size of your dish), being sure to end on a cream layer.
6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, and dust with lots of cocoa powder before serving.

How To Store Tiramisu

Tiramisu can easily be stored in the refrigerator in the same dish it is served in. The dish should be covered and airtight before refrigerating. Tiramisu and any leftovers can then be refrigerated for 4 -5 days.

Can I Freeze Tiramisu?

Yes! If you plan to freeze tiramisu, make it in a freezer-safe container. Make sure the tiramisu is well-sealed and air-tight. Tiramisu should last up to 3 months in the freezer. When you are ready to serve the tiramisu, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and dust with cocoa powder just before serving.

Common Tiramisu Questions

Although tiramisu is so so easy to make here are some FAQs and answers that will help you know everything you need to know:

1. What kind of rum do I use in tiramisu? I find amaretto or any dark rum works best - but you can also use your favourite coffee liqueur or brandy.
2. Egg whites vs whipped cream? Tiramisu recipes usually use whipped egg whites or whipped cream in the mascarpone cream layers. Egg whites add an airy texture and whipped cream adds a creaminess and richness. Just be aware that this is a no-bake recipe so egg whites would remain raw.
3. What size pan to use? This tiramisu recipe is quite large so make sure your serving dish is big enough. Smaller dishes will result in more layers 🙂
4. Can I make tiramisu without alcohol? Yes, definitely! This recipe can easily be made without alcohol. You can simply omit it without compromising the texture or flavour of the dish.
5. How to serve tiramisu? Dust over a nice dense layer of cocoa before serving. And then just dive right in and start serving! Slice into squares with a sharp knife, wiping the knife clean between each cut. Remove the squares with a small spatula and enjoy!
6. What are Ladyfingers? Ladyfingers (or savoiardi in Italian) are sweet, dry, finger-shaped sponge cookies/cakes. They are often a main ingredient in many desserts including trifles and tiramisu. When Ladyfingers are layered underneath cream, they take on a lovely cake-like texture. But be careful to not over soak them in the coffee when making tiramisu - you don't want them too soggy.
