Easy No-Cook Tiramisu

Easy No-Cook Tiramisu is easy enough to make any night, but special enough for a special occasion.

We all have that one thing that when we see on a menu, our eyes light up and we just can’t resist ordering. For me, it’s tiramisu.

I’ve had my fill of all kinds of tiramisu; some that’s the stuff dreams are made of, some barely edible, some more like pudding, some more like cake. It’s actually pretty surprising just how many variations there are! If you’ve never had tiramisu, it’s an Italian dessert that literally means “pick me up” that’s typically made of ladyfingers, coffee, a sweet mascarpone-based cream, and cocoa powder. I don’t know what it is, but there’s something irresistible about that combination.

I’ve been wanting to make tiramisu at home for a while now. This version couldn’t be easier to put together. There’s no cooking involved; it’s basically just a matter of brewing up some coffee (or saving some from your morning pot), whipping up that creamy layer, and assembling it.

Here I went with GO VEGGIE Vegan Classic Plain Cream Cheese as the base of my sweet creamy layer; this cream cheese is non-GMO verified, made with healthy coconut, and has no cholesterol, lactose, or gluten. If keeping the whole recipe gluten-free is a concern, be sure to look for gluten-free ladyfingers as well.

In this dessert, the coffee-laced cookies are layered with vanilla and almond-scented sweet cream and it ends up being the perfect balance of flavors. This dessert is easy enough to whip up anytime, but it feels special enough to serve for a special occasion. Serve it up at your next party and you’ll have some very excited guests!
