Classic Tiramisu

None

End your meal with a taste of Italy—this authentic Tiramisu made with Holla Whipping Cream is pure indulgence.

Layers of espresso-soaked ladyfinger cookies alternate with clouds of sweet mascarpone cream made extra light and fluffy with Holla Whipping Cream.

Each spoonful delivers the perfect balance of coffee flavor, creamy richness, and a hint of cocoa. Tiramisu, which means ‘pick me up’ in Italian, is one of the world’s most beloved desserts, and for good reason. This no-bake dessert is surprisingly easy to make yet always impresses.

The key to great Tiramisu is quality ingredients and proper assembly—and Holla Whipping Cream ensures your mascarpone cream layer is light, stable, and delicious. Unlike some recipes that use only mascarpone (which can be heavy and dense), our version incorporates whipped Holla Whipping Cream, creating a filling that’s luxuriously creamy but still light and airy.

The dessert needs to chill for several hours (overnight is best), which allows the flavors to meld and the cookies to soften to the perfect texture.

The result is a dessert that looks elegant, tastes incredible, and makes any occasion special. Perfect for dinner parties, holidays, or any time you want to treat yourself to something truly special.

Directions

Step 1

Prepare Coffee and Whipped Cream

Brew strong espresso or coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
You can add 2-3 tablespoons of coffee liqueur if desired, but this is optional.
In a chilled bowl with chilled beaters, whip the Holla Whipping Cream until stiff peaks form.

Refrigerate until needed.

Step 2

Make Mascarpone Mixture

In a large bowl, beat egg yolks with half the sugar (50g) until pale and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add mascarpone cheese and beat until smooth and well combined.
The mixture should be creamy with no lumps.

Step 3

Prepare Meringue

In a separate, very clean bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the remaining sugar (50g) and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
This meringue adds lightness and stability to the dessert.

Step 4

Combine Everything

Gently fold the whipped mascarpone mixture into the beaten egg whites using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Use broad, gentle folding motions.
Once combined, gently fold in the whipped Holla Whipping Cream.
The final mixture should be light, fluffy, and cloud-like.

Step 5

Assemble the Tiramisu

Quickly dip each ladyfinger cookie into the cooled espresso—just 1 second per side; don't let them get soggy.
Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish (or individual serving glasses for an elegant presentation).
Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing it evenly.
Add another layer of espresso-dipped ladyfingers, then top with the remaining cream.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best.
Before serving, dust generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.
Slice and serve chilled.

Bellissimo!
