Easy 10-Minute Eggless Tiramisu – Creamy, Quick & No-Bake

Tiramisu is one of the world’s most loved desserts — rich layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, creamy mascarpone, and cocoa dusting. But traditional tiramisu takes time (and raw eggs). This eggless tiramisu recipe is a simplified, no-bake version that comes together in just 10 minutes! By swapping raw eggs for whipped cream and mascarpone, you still get the velvety, cloud-like layers without compromising flavor. Perfect for last-minute dinner parties, romantic date nights, or when you need a dessert that looks impressive but takes minimal effort.

  1. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
  2. Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers.
  3. Top with the remaining mascarpone cream.
