Light Tiramisu (No Eggs)

This is a lighter, everyday version recipe. It skips the eggs, uses whipped cream for a softer texture, and adds a touch of vanilla to bring out the flavours. It’s fresher, easier to eat, and perfect when you want something less heavy.

(Budget friendly version below)

Ingredients (6–8 servings)

• 250g (1 cup)  mascarpone

• 250ml (1 cup) 35% whipping cream

• 60-80g (1/3 cup) sugar (adjust to taste)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 20-24 ladyfingers (250g)

• 250ml (1 cup) strong espresso

• Unsweetened cocoa powder

• Optional: 1 tbsp coffee liqueur (Kahlúa, Marsala, etc.)

Steps

1. Whip the cream to soft peaks (don’t overdo it).

2. In a separate bowl, mix mascarpone, sugar, vanilla until smooth.

3. Fold whipped cream into mascarpone gently. Make sure to keep it airy.

4. Mix coffee with liqueur if using.

5. Quick-dip ladyfingers in coffee (DON’T SOAK THEM).

6. Layer: ladyfingers → cream → repeat.

7. Dust with cocoa generously on top.

8. Chill 3-4 hours ( sets faster than the classic ).

💰 EXTRA BUDGET FRIENDLY VERSION :

So no eggs, no alcohol, no vanilla. It uses more cream than mascarpone, comes together fast and tastes closer to store bought tiramisu.

Ingredients

• 300ml (1 & 1/4 cups) heavy cream 35%

• 150ml (2/3 cup) mascarpone

• 35-45g (3-4 tbsp) sugar, adjust to taste

• 250ml (1 cup) strong coffee

• ~22 ladyfingers

⚠️This budget version uses a 2:1 cream to mascarpone ratio. I personally like to reduce the sugar, since the ladyfingers are already sweet.
