Tiramisu
This classic Italian tiramisu combines eggs, mascarpone, sugar, coffee-soaked ladyfingers and cocoa. The Thermomix whisks the eggs and sugar to a fluffy base, blends in the mascarpone until silky, and grinds cocoa for the finishing touch. A no-bake dessert that delivers restaurant-quality creaminess with minimal effort.
About this recipe
Tiramisu Thermomix TM7 is the ultimate make-ahead Italian dessert, and this recipe shows exactly why the all-in-one kitchen machine earns its place in your kitchen. The TM7 whisks eggs and caster sugar into a pale, airy base, then gently blends the mascarpone until the cream is silky without a single lump — something almost impossible to achieve by hand. Strong brewed coffee soaks into the ladyfinger cookies while the machine grinds unsweetened cocoa powder to a fine, even dusting for the top. Searching for easy tiramisu recipes often leads to complicated steps, but here one bowl handles every task: whipping, mixing and grinding. Ideal for birthdays, dinner parties or a festive Christmas dessert, this no-bake classic needs only patience while it chills. Serve it in glasses for individual portions or in one large elegant dish.
Preparation tips
- Use freshly brewed, strong coffee and let it cool completely before dipping the ladyfingers; a quick one-second dip per side keeps them firm enough to hold their shape while still absorbing plenty of flavour.
- Assemble the tiramisu at least four hours before serving, ideally overnight, so the mascarpone cream sets and the ladyfingers soften into a cohesive slice that cuts cleanly.
- For a lighter result, fold the whipped egg whites gently through the mascarpone mixture with a spatula rather than mixing them in the bowl, preserving the air that gives this dessert its signature mousse-like texture.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: replace the mascarpone with a lactose-free cream cheese alternative and use lactose-free ladyfingers; the coffee and cocoa flavours remain identical and guests with intolerances can enjoy it worry-free.
- Festive Christmas variation: add a splash of amaretto or marsala to the cooled coffee and dust the top with cocoa through a star-shaped stencil for an elegant snowy finish that looks stunning on a holiday table.
