Eggless Tiramisu with Rusk/No alcohol/No ladyfingers

Eggless and alcohol free Tiramisu made with rusk, instant coffee and cream cheese. If you are making eggless tiramisu with store bought lady fingers or savoiardi cookies, then its not truly an eggless recipe as these cookies are made with eggs. Since I was making tiramisu for my friends who don’t eat eggs, I searched for an alternate to egg free lady finger cookies and finally decided on using Brittania Suji Rusk instead of the Savoiardi cookies. I thought of a few different options- graham crackers were too thin, nilla wafers didn’t have the right size and Parle G, Digestive cookies all had a very distinct taste, which would not go with the coffee-cocoa flavor. So I finally decided on suji rusk and all my friends, including the ones who do eat eggs, loved the tiramisu.

Also, the size of the rusk is similar to the lady finger and readily available in every home. I made this a few times -with mascarpone cheese and cream cheese. Cream cheese is readily available, is half the price of mascarpone cheese and honestly I didn’t find any significant difference in taste or texture between the two. So I would say, use what’s available-mascarpone or cream cheese. I used instant coffee granules, but you can brew a strong cup of coffee or use espresso. Since we are making it with suji rusk, It is very absorbent and a good dip in the coffee is not only recommended but needed. Also, its a must to assemble the tiramisu and leave overnight for the rusk to completely soften up.

Keep the cream cheese-whipping cream filling at the soft peak stage. This helps the rusk to absorb the cream Its important to use the egg beater at the lowest setting as it can quickly turn from soft peak to butter if we keep beating at high speed. I always had a little bit of cream filling left over as my dish is not very deep. I recommend a deeper dish so you can use all of the filling and in fact if you use a deeper dish and you like your tiramisu, extra creamy, you can increase the quantity of cream to 2 cups instead of 1.5 cups.

Place a second layer of coffee dipped rusk on top of the filling. Break some rusks if needed to fill in and complete the layer. If any coffee mixture is left. drizzle it over the rusk.
