Description

This no-bake vanilla tiramisu roll is a creamy and indulgent dessert with layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and a luscious mascarpone vanilla cream filling. Rolled up and chilled, it’s a modern twist on the classic Italian dessert that’s easy to prepare and perfect for the holidays.


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the roll:

  • 24–30 ladyfingers (savoiardi)
  • 1 cup (240ml) brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) coffee liqueur (optional)

For the filling:

  • 8 oz (225g) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, whipped
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)

For the topping:

  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Shaved white chocolate (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
    • Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until fully combined. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the ladyfingers:
    • In a shallow dish, combine the brewed coffee and coffee liqueur (if using).
    • Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are moist but not soggy.
  3. Assemble the roll:
    • On a large piece of plastic wrap, arrange the soaked ladyfingers in a single layer, slightly overlapping, to form a rectangle (approximately 10×12 inches).
    • Spread the mascarpone filling evenly over the ladyfingers, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Roll the dessert:
    • Using the plastic wrap to help, gently roll the ladyfingers into a tight log, starting from the short side. Wrap the roll tightly in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  5. Finish and serve:
    • Remove the roll from the refrigerator and carefully unwrap. Dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with shaved white chocolate, if desired.
    • Slice into 1-inch pieces and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, replace the coffee liqueur with vanilla or almond extract in the soaking liquid.
  • To stabilize the whipped cream, you can add 1/2 tsp of unflavored gelatin dissolved in a little warm water before folding it into the mascarpone.
