Fig tiramisu is a no-bake, 15-minute twist on classic Italian tiramisu. It layers espresso-dipped ladyfingers, whipped mascarpone cream, and fresh figs in individual glasses, making an easy make-ahead dessert for any party.

Ingredients

Scale

For mascarpone cream:

  • 11.8 oz (335 g) mascarpone cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/3 cup + 1 teaspoon (80 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Marsala
  • 1 pinch of salt

For espresso mixture:

  • 2/3 cup (155 ml) cold espresso
  • 1 tablespoon Marsala

For decoration:

  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder (optional)

* If needed, please refer to Baking Conversion Charts.

Instructions

  1. To make mascarpone cream, separate egg whites from yolks with an egg separator. In a mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, and mascarpone cheese until smooth. Then add one tablespoon of Marsala and whisk again.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt, then gently fold them into the mascarpone mixture with a rubber spatula.
  3. Pour strong cold espresso on a shallow plate and add the remaining one tablespoon of Marsala. Dip ladyfinger halves in the coffee mixture quickly, one at a time, and place them into the bottom of six glass cups. Pipe half of the mascarpone cream between cups with a piping bag or spoon, then place 8 quarters of fresh figs into each cup.
  4. Cover with another layer of cookies dipped in coffee, then spread a layer of the remaining cream and even the top of the dessert with a bent spatula.
  5. Remove the cups from the fridge, peel the plastic wrap, and even the cream with an offset spatula. Sprinkle with a little bit of unsweetened cocoa powder. Use a decorating stencil if desired.

Notes

  1. Don't oversoak ladyfinger halves. Dip cookies in a cold espresso mixture, counting to 2 or 3.
  2. Sprinkle the top layer with grated dark chocolate, if desired.
