I found NILLA Wafers to be the perfect substitute for lady fingers in these easy Tiramisu Cups. I always have such a hard time finding lady fingers at the store…by using NILLA Wafers you get that extra vanilla flavor and you don't have to wonder where to find them!

They'd be great for everything from outdoor barbecues to co*cktail parties for dips like ketchup, chip dip, melted butter for seafood, and "a perfect ranch holder for veggies."

But the espresso is why this dessert may not be for kids as the taste is fairly noticeable. It's one of the main ingredients in this tiramisu and coffee certainly has a strong flavor.

4. The best ladyfingers for this recipe are very dry and crisp. They're often called savioardi and are imported from Italy. If you can't find these and your supermarket only has soft, cakelike ladyfingers, you'll need to let them dry out in the oven first.

The cookies that make up the “cake” layers of a tiramisu are called Savoiardi, or lady fingers. These cookies are incredibly absorbent because they are made from a sponge cake-like batter. That's why when you dip them in coffee if you dip them for too long they will make your cake very soggy. Sponge cake absorbs.

The other main reasons the mixture would be runny is if other liquid ingredients have been added first, or if the mascarpone has been beaten so much that it has curdled (then you will get water separating out from the cheese curds).

once you have the bowl over boiling water, using a whisk mix the egg yolk and sugar together and do not stop whisking until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture becomes thick and pale yellow in colour to do this without cooking the yolks can take up to 15 minutes.

How do you keep tiramisu from getting soggy? ›

Don't soak! Quickly dip the cookies into your coffee or liquor. Try not to leave them in the liquid too long—a quick dip will do. Overly soggy cookies make for a wet texture and a messy dessert.

Dark rum is best, but you can use brandy or your favorite coffee liqueur. Egg whites or whipped cream? Most tiramisu recipes use whipped egg whites OR whipped cream in the mascarpone cream layers. Egg whites contribute a more airy texture, while whipped cream makes the filling a bit more rich.

The high-fat culprits in this dish? Lots of whipping cream, boatloads of mascarpone cheese and the cake-like ladyfingers cookies. Some recipes call for several cups of whipping cream, but just one cup contains a whopping 414 calories and 44 grams of fat (28 of them saturated.)

Using egg whites instead of cream: Some authentic recipes for tiramisu use whipped egg whites instead of whipped cream. Tiramisu made with egg whites is lighter and more airy. To make our recipe with egg whites, whip 3 egg whites until they hold stiff peaks.

Ferrara's specialty tiramisu features homemade Savoiardi (Ladyfinger cookies) that we douse with espresso & coffee liqueur and layer with sweet mascarpone.

This easy co*cktail recipe contains three of my favorite liqueurs: Kahlua, Godiva Chocolate, and Rum Chata. Combined with cream, you're left with a dessert co*cktail that tastes just like the famed Italian dessert, Tiramisu!

Light-as-air sweetened mascarpone cheese, eggs and sugar are tamed by the bitter bite of espresso-soaked lady fingers and a generous dusting of cocoa powder. Coffee and chocolate also pair well with cream, making tiramisu one of those perfect desserts.
