Looking for a quick, indulgent dessert that’s bursting with flavour? Our Tiramisu Sundae combines the rich, creamy layers of a traditional Italian tiramisu with the refreshing twist of vanilla gelato. This 10-minute recipe is perfect for when you want a luxurious treat without the fuss.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons mascarpone
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 3 scoops vanilla gelato, divided
- 3 tablespoons cooled espresso or coffee liqueur, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon Dutch-process cocoa, divided
- 3 crunchy ladyfingers, coarsely crumbled, divided
- 1 chocolate hazelnut–filled rolled wafer cookie (such as Pirouline)
Instructions:
-
Whip the Mascarpone Cream
In a medium bowl, stir the mascarpone until smooth (about 30 seconds). Gradually whisk in the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes and will give you that light, airy texture that makes tiramisu so irresistible. -
Layer the Gelato & Espresso
Place one scoop of vanilla gelato into a pint glass or dessert cup. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of cooled espresso or coffee liqueur to soak the gelato, enhancing its flavour. Top with 2 heaping tablespoons of the mascarpone cream for an extra indulgent touch. -
Add Cocoa & Ladyfingers
Dust the layer with 1/4 teaspoon of Dutch-process cocoa for that signature tiramisu flavour. Sprinkle half of the crumbled ladyfingers for a delightful crunch. -
Repeat & Garnish
Repeat the layering process twice more, finishing with mascarpone cream and a final dusting of cocoa on top. For a picture-perfect presentation, garnish with a chocolate hazelnut-filled wafer cookie like Pirouline.
