The coffee tiramisu without raw eggs is an alternative to the classic tiramisu, which involves using raw egg yolks in the filling.
The use of uncooked eggs always presents the risk of salmonella, from which even using the freshest eggs does not fully protect you.
A valid solution to this problem is offered in this recipe.
No eggs are used in the filling, yet a soft and delicious cream is obtained for a very tasty tiramisu.
In my opinion, it is definitely a recipe to try.
Once made, if you are concerned about raw eggs, you will likely adopt it as your main recipe for making homemade tiramisu!

Ingredients
- 9 oz mascarpone
- 5 oz fresh whipping cream
- 20 ladyfingers (or as needed pavesini)
- as needed coffee (2-cup moka pot)
- 3.5 oz condensed milk
- as needed unsweetened cocoa powder
Tools
- Pyrex Baking Dish 8 x 8 inches
- Electric Whisk
- Silicone Spatula
- 2-cup Moka Pot
Preparation
To prepare the coffee tiramisu without raw eggs, make a 2-cup moka pot of coffee, sweeten to taste with sugar and let it cool in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whip the fresh cream until stiff peaks form.
In another bowl, beat the mascarpone with the condensed milk using an electric whisk (for the condensed milk recipe click here) until you get a smooth mixture.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture with a silicone spatula.
Use the spatula to spread a thin layer of filling in the dish you will use to assemble the dessert.
Quickly dip the ladyfingers (for the ladyfinger recipe click here), or pavesini, in the cold coffee.
If you use homemade ladyfingers, let them air dry covered only with a dish towel for a couple of days before using them.
In fact, they are soft when freshly made and only become more dry over the days, similar to the ones you buy pre-packaged.
Make a layer of soaked cookies, spread half of the cream on top and then generously dust with unsweetened cocoa powder.
For this last step, use a steel sieve or a sugar shaker.
Repeat the process, finishing with the unsweetened cocoa powder.
Refrigerate and let rest for up to 12 hours before serving for a better taste.
The tiramisu without raw eggs is now ready.
