Ingredient Notes

  • Vanilla Wafers

    A traditional tiramisu is made with ladyfingers which are often hard to find. This recipe opts for vanilla wafers in place of ladyfingers. Not only do they make this recipe more accessible, but they provide a more pronounced vanilla flavor.

  • Espresso or Strong Black Coffee

    Both espresso and strong black coffee or cold brew work for the coffee element of the soak. Pair the coffee with dark rum to complete the soak mixture.

  • Heavy Whipping Cream

    Heavy whipping cream is one of the two ingredients which make up the no-churn ice cream base. Make sure the heavy whipping cream is cold before whipping to stiff peaks. 

  • Sweetened Condensed Milk

    Sweetened condensed milk is the other ingredient which makes up the no-churn ice cream base. Chill the can prior to adding the sweetened condensed milk to the ice cream. Sweetened condensed milk is used as a liquid form of sweetness to keep the ice cream smooth and creamy.

Pro Tips

  • Soaking

    In order to get the tiramisu flavor, soak each vanilla wafer in the coffee rum soak by fully submerging each cookie into the soak mixture. 

  • Layering

    Layering the ice cream base, soaked vanilla wafers, and dark cocoa powder yields a delicious scoop of ice cream with tiramisu flavors in every bite.
