Questions about Tiramisu
How far ahead can you make tiramisu?
Make it the day before serving so the sponge softens and the coffee and mascarpone flavours meld. Keep it covered in the fridge and dust with cocoa just before serving.
How long does tiramisu keep in the fridge?
Keep it covered and chilled, and eat it within two days, especially if it contains raw eggs. Don’t leave it at room temperature for more than two hours.
Can you freeze tiramisu?
Yes. Freeze it in an airtight container for up to a month, ideally before adding the cocoa dusting. Thaw it overnight in the fridge; the texture may be a little softer than freshly made.
How do you stop tiramisu from turning watery?
Dip each sponge finger briefly in cold coffee rather than soaking it; a quick dunk on each side is enough. Whip the mascarpone mixture only until smooth, as overmixing can loosen it.
Can you make tiramisu without raw eggs?
Yes: use a recipe that folds whipped cream into mascarpone instead of raw eggs, or use pasteurised eggs. Chill the dessert promptly and keep it refrigerated until serving.
What can you use instead of mascarpone in tiramisu?
A mixture of full-fat cream cheese and a little double cream can work, but it tastes tangier and is firmer than mascarpone. For a closer texture, use equal parts full-fat cream cheese and crème fraîche.
What is the difference between tiramisu and trifle?
Tiramisu layers coffee-soaked sponge fingers with a mascarpone cream and cocoa; trifle usually has sponge, fruit or jelly, custard and whipped cream. Tiramisu is traditionally coffee-led rather than fruit-led.
Does tiramisu contain alcohol?
Not always. Some recipes add Marsala, rum or coffee liqueur to the coffee or cream, while others leave it out; ask whoever made it if you need to avoid alcohol.
