Easy Tiramisu Recipe for Kids

My questions are, can you really eat too much Tiramisu?  How many variations of Tiramisu are there out there?  Well, no and a lot.  I have made a few myself, from Easy Tiramisu to Strawberry tiramisu.

There is probably a Tiramisu Recipe for everyone. Including this Easy Tiramisu Recipe with no alcohol, no eggs and no coffee. And the best No-Bake Dessert.

Tiramisu which means “Pick me up”. A reference to the espresso coffee which is used in the Traditional Tiramisu Recipe. The first time I tried this Tiramisu was a birthday party for my nephew.  My sister-in-law made the classic Tiramisu and another very delicate Tiramisu made with what I think is almost every kid’s favourite, chocolate milk.

I make this Easy Tiramisu Recipe for kids even a little more kid friendly by not adding any eggs.  Just some creamy mascarpone and whole cream.  It’s even better when you make it a three-layer-dessert!

How to make Tiramisu for Kids

• Instead of dunking the Lady Fingers in strong coffee I dunk them in chocolate milk.  You can either make your own chocolate milk or purchase it pre-made.

• Whip the cream (real cream not cool whip) and the mascarpone together until thickened, spread it on top of the lady finger base, sprinkle with some chocolate flakes if you want, then continue with another layer or two, finish it off with a dusting of cocoa just before serving!
• Instead of cocoa you could sprinkle with chocolate shavings or even chocolate chips.

• Be sure to refrigerate it at least 5 hours or even better over night before serving.

What to substitute for Lady Finger Cookies:

If you can’t find the cookies then you could always use a cut up Sponge Cake, Angel Food Cake or Pound cake, cut the cake into squares and place them on the bottom of the pan, then spoon the chocolate milk over the top.

Is Tiramisu soggy?

Tiramisu should not be soggy, so make sure you don’t leave the lady fingers sitting in the chocolate milk. Just dunk and turn once or twice quickly to cover. Also be sure to whip your mascarpone and cream until thick and creamy, stiff peaks are best.

How to Store Tiramisu

Tiramisu can be left at room temperature no more than 2 hours, then be sure to store it covered in the fridge, it will last up to four days in the fridge.

Tiramisu can also be frozen, be sure to cover well and place in an airtight freezer bag or container, it will keep in the freezer for up to two weeks. Thaw the dessert in the refrigerator.

Never mind the kids this Easy Tiramisu recipe,  just might become everyone’s favourite.  Enjoy!
