No Egg Tiramisu
One of my readers requested a version on Tiramisu without eggs. So here I am to the rescue!
Ingredients
* Mascarpone (or best-quality cream cheese), 18 ounces
* Heavy Cream, 3 cups
* Confectioner’s Sugar, 1-1/2 cups + 2 tablespoons
* Rum, 8 tablespoons
* Vanilla Extract, 1 teaspoon
* Sponge Cake, about 14″ by 8″ cut in half horizontally
* Cocoa, unsweetened Dutch process, 2 tablespoons
* Semisweet Chocolate, 1/2 ounce
Directions
1. Press Mascarpone through a wire-mesh sieve into a mixing bowl. Or, process with a few pulses in food processor with steel blade.
2. Process until smooth.
3. Add the cream, 1-1/2 cups of sugar, half the rum, and the vanilla.
4. Beat the mixture with a wooden spoon or process until smooth and creamy.
5. Brush each layer of the cake with 2 tablespoons of rum.
6. Spread half the cheese mixture on top of one layer of cake.
7. Cover with the second cake layer.
8. Spread the remaining cheese filling over the top layer.
9. Mix the cocoa and remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, and sieve over the cake.
10. Grate the chocolate over the cocoa.
Thank you sooo much for giving me this recipe!!I love Tiramisu but i have always disliked the part of eating raw egg and i wanted one without!!Thanks so much!!I will make it and when i do i will let you know how good it was!!=)
Nice. I generally prefer to stick with the "with egg" version but this seems like it would be a good alternative for vegetarians.
Very nice collection of recipes! I am hosting a blog carnival for healthy recipes it you'd like to submit one you have posted here that would be great. You can read about it on my blog.
(A blog carnival is a collection of posts about a particular topic – several people contribute and then the carnival (post of all the submissions with links to their sites) is published on the hosting blog) – it is a nice way to network )
…but the sponge cake does have eggs in it, doesn't it? what could be used to make a really no-egg recipe? I have a friend who is allergic to eggs and that would be just about perfect. Thanks!
thanks looks a nice easy recipe just what i was looking for as i didn't like the idea of the raw eggs either
will give you an update when i have tried the recipe
I looked on the internet for egg free tiramiu and the ones who profess no eggs all contain sponge cake which does contain egg. This might be a problem for people who, like me, are allergic to eggs and mislead them into thinking the recipe contains no eggs.
