Discover a simple tiramisu with mascarpone without eggs

Eggless Tiramisu - A Simple and Light Dessert for Every Occasion

Tiramisu is one of those desserts that has become a staple on Czech tables, much like bundt cake or gingerbread. Although it originates from Italy, its delicate taste, creamy texture, and distinctive coffee aroma have captured the hearts of thousands of people worldwide. However, the traditional recipe contains raw eggs, which can be problematic not only from a safety perspective but also in terms of taste. Many people avoid them for various reasons—whether due to allergies, pregnancy, or simply concerns about salmonella. Fortunately, there is a solution: eggless tiramisu. And not only that—it can still be light, delicious, and incredibly easy to prepare.

Why Avoid Eggs in Dessert?

Eggs in the traditional recipe serve to firm up the cream and create a smooth, fluffy texture. They are usually whipped with sugar into a foam and then mixed with mascarpone. But then comes the question: what if we want a dessert that is without raw eggs?

Nowadays, more and more people are trying to limit animal ingredients or simply opt for safer alternatives. Eggs in desserts can be replaced by other ingredients that are more stable, easily digestible, and have no risk of contamination. In the case of tiramisu, whipped cream is an ideal choice, which, when combined with mascarpone, creates a perfectly creamy consistency—entirely without the use of eggs.

Moreover, thanks to this adjustment, we obtain a recipe that is also suitable for warm summer days—not only does it not require baking, but we also don't have to worry about storage or quick spoilage due to raw eggs.

Simple Eggless Mascarpone Tiramisu

The greatest magic of this dessert lies in its simplicity. It only takes a few quality ingredients and a few minutes of time. And although the recipe is very easy, the result looks luxurious and festive—an ideal choice for guests or a Sunday afternoon with family. And if you want to impress even the kids, you can replace coffee with cocoa or carob to create a kid-friendly eggless tiramisu.

The base, of course, is mascarpone—Italian creamy cheese, which has a delicate, buttery taste and pairs excellently with whipped cream. This combination gives the dessert a lightness and absolute smoothness. You also need ladyfingers (preferably elongated savoiardi) that are dipped in strong coffee or alternatively in unroasted chicory coffee for caffeine-sensitive individuals.

And as is often the case, the simpler the recipe, the more important the quality of the ingredients. The mascarpone should be fresh, the cream with at least 30% fat, and the coffee—ideally freshly brewed espresso.

Eggless Tiramisu Recipe Step by Step

Here is an example of a simple yet absolutely perfect recipe that anyone can manage:

Ingredients:

• 500 g mascarpone
• 300 ml whipping cream (min. 30% fat)
• 80 g powdered sugar (or to taste)
• 1 espresso (or strong filtered coffee, chilled)
• 2 tablespoons amaretto (optional)
• 1 package elongated ladyfingers (savoiardi)
• cocoa for sprinkling

Instructions:

1. Whip the cream until semi-stiff.
2. In another bowl, mix mascarpone with sugar until smooth.
3. Combine both components and gently mix until a fluffy cream forms.
4. Mix coffee with amaretto. Quickly dip the ladyfingers in it—just briefly, so they don't fall apart.
5. Layer ladyfingers, cream, and again ladyfingers in a serving dish or glasses until the ingredients run out.
6. Chill for at least 4 hours (ideally overnight).
7. Before serving, sprinkle with cocoa.

The result is an eggless mascarpone tiramisu that tastes absolutely authentic, yet is significantly lighter than the original version.

Tiramisu in a Glass Without Eggs - Even Dessert Can Be Zero Waste

One of the trends in recent years is serving desserts in glasses. Not only does it look visually appealing, but it's also a more ecological way of serving, especially if you use reusable glasses from jam or yogurt. And that's exactly how you can create a quick eggless tiramisu in a glass—ideal for a picnic, garden party, or as a sweet treat for the office.

Moreover, portions prepared this way allow excellent quantity control. Sweet temptation tends to disappear quickly...

And most importantly—children will love this dessert. If you decide to skip the amaretto and use, for example, a grain coffee substitute or lukewarm cocoa instead of coffee, you'll have a healthier version that will delight even the little ones.

When Taste Matters - Why Does It Taste So Great Even Without Eggs?

You may be wondering: can eggless tiramisu taste like the real thing? The answer is simple—yes. Some people even claim that this version is even smoother and more pleasantly creamy than the classic one. Eggs, especially yolks, can sometimes be too strong, making the cream feel heavy. The combination of mascarpone and whipped cream creates a lighter overall profile that doesn't feel as fatty and doesn't burden digestion.

One of the regular customers at Ferwer store, Mrs. Alena from Brno, says: “Since I discovered eggless tiramisu, I don't make any other. It's faster, safer, and everyone loves it. After the last visit, my daughter immediately took the recipe home."

Quality Ingredients as the Key to Success

If you want to perfect your tiramisu, don't forget about the origin of the ingredients. It's worth investing in organic mascarpone, cream from ecological farms, and ladyfingers without palm oil. We recommend fair trade coffee, ideally ground just before use. It's not just about taste, but also about long-term responsibility towards the planet and the people who produce these delicacies for us.

In the Ferwer online store, you'll find not only healthy ingredients for home baking but also stylish and sustainable glasses that you can use for serving desserts. A small step for you—but a big leap for the planet.

Once you try how easily and quickly you can prepare eggless tiramisu, you'll find it hard to go back to the classic version. It's a dessert that adapts to your lifestyle—whether you're looking for something light, safe, or just different. And most importantly—it always tastes great.
