Delicious, no bake, easy and EGGLESS Tiramisu recipe - my take on an Italian classic dessert. This non-tradtional eggless tiramisu recipe is the most perfect no bake dessert for every coffee lover.
Eggless Tiramisu
If you ask me to list down the flavours that I love - coffee tops my list for sweet things and garlic for savoury. Give me anything coffee and I will be your biggest fan. Coffee flavoured chocolates? yes please! Espresso Martini? Why not 😀 Tiramisu for dessert? Hell yes! I have always loved Tiramisu inspite of not being a fan of raw eggs and whenever eating at restaurants, I try to convince myself with every bite to not over think about the egg situation.
Eggless Tiramisu
This eggless tiramisu recipe is in no case a traditional tiramisu recipe. A traditional tiramisu recipe contains raw egg whites and slightly cooked yolks and this is a no bake dessert. Since I am not a huge fan of raw eggs, I was on a mission to develop a delicious recipe for an eggless tiramisu. A classic tiramisu recipe does not contain cream cheese (in my knowledge) but I added about 1/3 cup for the texture. Before I mislead any of my readers, I do want to clarify, that the lady fingers in this recipe still contain egg - but they are store bought baked (already cooked!) biscuits - by EGGLESS tiramisu, what is meant here, is that this recipe is without the raw egg whites and the slightly cooked egg yolks that are added to the custard.

This recipe for eggless tiramisu is the easiest fuss-free recipe you will come across. The simplicity of this recipe can be witnessed on a video tutorial put on my Instagram account. While this blog post makes an easy 13 by 8 inch glass dish quantity of eggless tiramisu, the recipe tutorial on my Instagram stories makes one big (10 by 7 glass dish) and one small serving - roughly 6 extra slices.

Hi Priya, as mentioned in the blog post - the lady fingers I used, have eggs in them. Whats meant by egg-less is the raw egg added to custard - which I have modified. I havent tried a brand that sells egg-free/ vegan lady fingers so cant recommend, sorry!
