Frequently asked questions – FAQ
How do i store leftover no churn tiramisu ice cream?
Store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. Before sealing the container, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming and causing freezer burn.
Can i add alcohol to this recipe?
Absolutely! Traditional Tiramisu often includes coffee liqueur like Kahlúa. You can add a tablespoon or two to the coffee mixture for an extra kick.
What type of coffee should i use?
For authentic Tiramisu flavor, it’s best to use freshly brewed, strong espresso. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can substitute it using strong-brewed coffee. You can make it by using more coffee grounds with less water.
Can i make this no churn tiramisu ice cream recipe dairy-free?
Sure, you can substitute the mascarpone cheese with a dairy-free alternative and use coconut cream instead of heavy cream. Ensure that all other ingredients, like the ladyfingers, are also dairy-free. The result might not be exactly the same but it will be close enough!
What can i use if i don’t have mascarpone cheese?
If you can’t find mascarpone cheese, you can substitute it with a mixture of cream cheese and heavy cream. Combine equal parts of both and blend until smooth for a similar texture and taste.
