Eggless Tiramisu Cake Easy Italian Dessert Carve Your Craving

If you are not a coffee fan and still want to enjoy Tiramisu then try my crazy delicious chocolate tiramisu cake. It is an alcohol-free and kid-friendly dessert as well.

An egg-free, no alcohol spin on the Classic Tiramisu!

Tiramisu literally means pick me up. It is a famous classic Italian no-bake dessert involving coffee and alcohol. In the traditional recipe, Savoiardi Italian ladyfinger cookies are soaked in a coffee mixture sandwiched between creamy layers prepared with dry marsala wine or dark rum, egg custard, and mascarpone cheese. My Eggless tiramisu is made with an airy sponge instead of Savoiardi which has eggs. I have swapped the egg custard with rich and airy mascarpone whipped cream frosting. This alcohol-free version of Tiramisu will just melt in your mouth.

Swapping sponge cake for Savoiardi

Did you know Savoiardi cookies also known as ladyfingers which are sandwiched between the cream layer are made with eggs? It is nearly impossible to get ready-made Savoiardi without eggs. Testing eggless Savoiardi cookies at home is on my list. But until then I make tiramisu at home using my tried and trusted eggless sponge cake instead of ladyfingers. It works like a charm. You can cut the sponge into strips to mimic the cookies.

Step by step instructions

Important tips to keep in mind

Completely cool the sponge cake before handling it. I recommend making it the previous day. Use freshly brewed coffee cooled to lukewarm or room temperature, not very hot. Let the tiramisu sit in the fridge to set for at least 6 hours before eating.

How to store eggless tiramisu cake

Refrigerate the cake covered at all times. I do not recommend freezing the tiramisu cake because the cream will be a bit watery once you thaw it.

Shelf life and make ahead of time tips

This cake stays well refrigerated up to 3-4 days after it is layered. You can make the sponge cake and frosting up to 2 days in advance. Store it covered in the refrigerator.

Get creative with serving Tiramisu

Honestly, you do not need any decorating skills to make a tiramisu cake. You can choose to layer everything in a casserole or any appropriate deep glass / ceramic bowl. To step up a bit, I like to layer it in a trifle glass or individual serving bowls. Add some color to your dessert by putting sliced strawberries and mint leaves as garnish.

Use appropriate pan for this recipe

The glass pan looks the most attractive when you make tiramisu. You can see all the beautiful layers. But it is not mandatory. A ceramic pan, casserole, pie dish, or metal pan is fine as well. However, you should use the right pan size. This recipe fits well in an 8”, 9”, or a 7 by 11” pan. To make it in a 9 by 13” pan, simply use 1.5 times this recipe. You can cut the recipe into half to fit a smaller pan or individual trifle glasses.
