I enjoy how this dessert requires no baking and comes together easily. The combination of coffee-soaked biscuits, creamy filling, and Nutella creates a perfect balance of flavors. It’s a crowd-pleaser that feels both comforting and luxurious.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
250 g mascarpone cheese 1 cup heavy cream 1/3 cup powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup nutella 1 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled) 200 g ladyfinger biscuits cocoa powder (for dusting)
Directions
I start by whipping the heavy cream until soft peaks form and set it aside.
In another bowl, I mix the mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and Nutella until smooth and creamy.
I gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella mixture to keep it light and airy.
Next, I dip each ladyfinger quickly into the cooled coffee and arrange them in a single layer in a dish.
I spread a layer of the Nutella cream over the soaked biscuits.
I repeat the layers of dipped ladyfingers and cream until everything is used, finishing with the cream on top.
I dust the top with cocoa powder and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set.
Servings and timing
This recipe serves about 6 people. Prep time: about 20 minutes Chill time: about 4 hours Total time: about 4 hours 20 minutes
Variations
I sometimes add chocolate chips between the layers for extra texture. When I want a stronger coffee flavor, I mix espresso into the soaking liquid. I also like adding a layer of crushed hazelnuts for crunch.
Storage/reheating
I store the tiramisu in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, covered היט to keep it fresh. I don’t reheat it since it’s meant to be served cold.
FAQs
Can I make this without coffee?
I can use milk or a chocolate drink instead for a non-coffee version.
Can I make it ahead of time?
Yes, I actually prefer making it ahead so the flavors can develop.
Can I use cream cheese instead of mascarpone?
I can, but the texture and flavor will be slightly different.
How long should it chill?
I chill it for at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better.
Can I freeze tiramisu?
I can freeze it, but I find the texture is best when fresh.
Conclusion
I keep making this nutella tiramisu because it’s creamy, easy, and full of rich flavor. It’s a simple dessert that always feels special and satisfying.
