Know What You Eat: Tiramisu literally means "pick me up". The most heavenly Italian dessert on earth with fancy taste without all the work. This dessert is wonderful for a get
together or just a special occasion at home. As you all know Tiramisu is a layered dessert, consisting of alternating layers of coffee-soaked Savoiardi biscuits and sweet mixture of mascarpone cheese and eggs and sugar. A BIG BUT, I am a vegetarian and thats how it made me think to come up with a vegetarian tiramisu option, when I had this Italian Christmas dinner party and so I googled a lot of these recipes before exploring into this one, which perfectly fits to my needs, taste and appearance...I used a box of cake mix which happened to be a real time saver and EGG LESS too.. instead of the lady fingers (Savoiardi biscuits), FAT FREE Cream Cheese (hung curd is a good option), Vanilla / Cheesecake pudding OR (Custard mix Brown & Polson is great option). Of Course ! there are countless variations and options available. Here's how I made.
Recipe: Egg less Tiramisu Semi Homemade
Serves: 8-10 Preparation time: 15 mins Cooking time: (Bake cake acc to the box instruction)
Ingredients:
- 1 Box Vanilla OR Yellow Cake Mix
- 1 8Oz Tub Cool Whip OR Whipped Heavy Cream
- 1 8Oz Pack Fat free Cream cheese OR hung curd
- 1 Pack Jello (no gelatin) Instant pudding mix (Vanilla or Cheesecake flavor)
- OR Custard prepared acc to instruction on box.
- 1 C Coffee Concoction (Boil 1 Cup of water add 2 Tbsp Instant Coffee Powder)
- 2 Tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 C Lowfat Milk
Method 1:
- Bake cake in a baking dish you want to serve in..according to the instruction on the box a day before assembling this dessert. Cut the cake in half lengthwise or small circles for individual preparation like this picture above.
- Prepare coffee concoction and pour over this first 1/2 layer cake once it is cooled.
- In a bowl, mix together a cup of milk and instant pudding mix and whip until the crystals are dissolved.
- Add Cool whip, cream cheese and blend until smooth.
- With a spatula or spoon pour this over the cake.
- Similarly make a second layer following steps 2-5.
- With a strainer tap coffee powder along with cocoa powder on the top most layer.
- You can decorate it with milk or dark chocolate scrapes or chocolate confetti's like above picture.
- Once prepared refrigerate for 3-4 hours before serving.
- ENJOY and ENJOY!!!!
Method 2:
- If using hung curd instead of cream cheese and Brown and Polson vanilla custard powder instead of jello, prepare custard according to box instruction.
- Mix together hung curd and custard while adding vanilla essence. Blend until smooth.
- Follow instruction from Method 1 (Steps 2-5 ,7-8).

Thanks

Looks yummy!!!. I do have one question. Your said recipe says use a box of vanilla or yellow cake mix and make cake using instruction. the box says to use eggs, so how is it eggless Tiramisu. Would appreciate if you let me know how the bake the cake without eggs.
This recipe does call for a readily available cake box which instructs to use eggs, but that's not needed if you want to make it egg less version, instead you can use.
Replace eggs with Ener-G
1 egg = 1 1/2 tsp dry Egg Replacer plus 2 tbsp water
1 egg white = 1 1/2 tsp dry Egg Replacer plus 2 tbsp water
1 egg yolk = 1 1/2 tsp dry Egg Replacer plus 1 tbsp water
Thanks for all your support.
Eat & Live Healthy.
Looks so delicious and tempting.. thanks for sharing :)
