This ube tiramisu recipe keeps everything you love about the Italian classic — coffee-soaked ladyfingers and a cloud of mascarpone cream — and adds the vanilla-nutty flavor of ube. It is eggless and needs no oven.
Ube tiramisu with no eggs
Traditional tiramisu uses raw egg yolks. This version gets its lightness from whipped cream instead, so it is simpler and safe for everyone. The cream gets its color from Kapsoo ube powder, bloomed in warm milk first for a perfectly smooth texture.
Ube tiramisu with ube halaya
For an even more intense ube flavor, spread a thin layer of ube halaya over the first layer of ladyfingers before adding the cream.
Instructions
Step 1
Whisk the ube powder into the warm milk until smooth. Let it cool completely.
Step 2
Whip the cold heavy cream to soft peaks.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk the mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla and ube paste until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
Step 4
Quickly dip each ladyfinger in the coffee (1–2 seconds per side) and arrange half of them in a single layer in an 8-inch dish.
Step 5
Spread half of the ube cream over the ladyfingers. Repeat with the remaining ladyfingers and cream.
Step 6
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight. Dust with cocoa powder just before serving.
Tips & variations
- Coffee-free: dip the ladyfingers in coconut milk instead.
- Make individual portions in glasses for parties.
- Add a thin layer of ube halaya between the layers for extra ube flavor.
