No-Bake Cinnamon Tiramisu
Ingredients:
For the Tiramisu:
- 1 package (7 oz) ladyfingers (or sponge cake strips)
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for the coffee mixture)
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar (or sugar substitute for a lower-sugar version)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for the cream mixture)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Coffee Mixture:
- Brew 1 cup of strong coffee and let it cool.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon into the coffee and set it aside.
- Prepare the Cream Mixture:
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and beat it again until fully incorporated.
- Assemble the Tiramisu:
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled cinnamon coffee mixture. Do not soak them—just a quick dip so that they don’t get too soggy.
- Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking dish or similar size container.
- Spread half of the cinnamon cream mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining cinnamon cream mixture.
- Chill:
- Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together and the dessert to set.
- Serve:
- Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder and, if desired, an extra sprinkle of ground cinnamon for added flavor and presentation.
- Slice and enjoy this creamy, cinnamon-infused twist on the classic tiramisu!
Tips:
- For a stronger coffee flavor: You can use espresso in place of regular coffee.
- To make it boozy: If you like traditional tiramisu with a bit of liqueur, feel free to add a tablespoon or two of coffee liqueur or rum to the coffee mixture.
- For a lighter version: You can substitute part of the heavy cream with Greek yogurt for a creamy yet lower-fat option.
This No-Bake Cinnamon Tiramisu is a cozy and delightful twist on the classic tiramisu, offering the perfect balance of cinnamon warmth and creamy indulgence! Enjoy!
