Gluten Free Tiramisu is a decadent, coffee-soaked dessert with layers of creamy mascarpone filling and a dusting of cocoa powder, made accessible for those avoiding gluten without sacrificing taste or texture.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 3 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1 pack gluten-free ladyfingers (store-bought or homemade)
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine the cooled coffee and coffee liqueur (if using). Stir in the maple syrup or honey for added sweetness. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth using an electric mixer or a whisk.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-beat.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone cheese mixture until well combined, creating a light and airy filling.
  5. Briefly dip each gluten-free ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, making sure not to soak them completely—just a quick dip so they don’t get soggy.
  6. In a 9×9-inch or similar-sized dish, lay down the dipped ladyfingers in a single layer, covering the bottom of the dish.
  7. Spread half of the mascarpone filling over the ladyfingers, smoothing it into an even layer.
  8. Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone filling. Smooth the top layer evenly.
  9. Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the flavors meld and the dessert set.
  10. Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings (if using).

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, omit the coffee liqueur and use extra brewed coffee or vanilla extract.If you’d like a vegan version, use dairy-free mascarpone and coconut cream or cashew cream for the whipped cream.This dessert is best when made ahead and allowed to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.You can customize this tiramisu by adding layers of fresh berries or a chocolate ganache layer.Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
