Tiramisu is a popular Italian dessert that is typically made with ladyfinger biscuits that are soaked in coffee or espresso, layered with a mixture of mascarpone cheese, eggs, sugar, and alcohol (usually Marsala wine or rum), and dusted with cocoa powder. However, this version is made without any alcohol, making it a great option for those who don’t consume alcohol or for family-friendly gatherings.

To make this no-alcohol version, you’ll need to prepare a mixture of mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. You’ll then layer soaked ladyfinger biscuits with the mascarpone mixture in a baking dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Before serving, you’ll dust the top with cocoa powder.

The resulting dessert is rich and creamy, with the coffee-soaked ladyfingers adding a hint of bitterness that balances out the sweetness of the mascarpone mixture. It’s a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for special occasions or anytime you want to indulge in something decadent.
