Description
Try this no-bake Peanut Butter Tiramisu—layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, rich peanut butter, and vanilla-bean mascarpone, topped with Nutella. It’s simple, indulgent, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the Ladyfinger Layer
- 28 ladyfingers
- 300 g ( 1 ¼ cups) coffee
For the Filling
- 500 g mascarpone cheese (2 cups)
- 75 g cream cheese (⅓ cup)
- 3 vanilla beans
- 240 g smooth peanut butter (1 cup)
- 245 g heavy whipping cream (1 cup)
- 200 g powdered sugar (1 ⅔ cups)
For Decoration
- 200 g Nutella (¾ cup)
- 25 g peanut butter (2 tbsp)
Instructions
- Brew strong coffee and allow it to cool completely.
Prepare filling
- In a large bowl, combine the mascarpone and cream cheese until smooth. Add the peanut butter and scraped vanilla bean seeds, mixing until incorporated.
- Sift in the powdered sugar, folding gently until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
Assemble
- Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee—just until moistened—and arrange a single layer in the pan.
- Spread a thin layer of peanut butter over the ladyfingers.
- Spread half of the mascarpone filling evenly over the peanut butter layer.
- Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers, followed by the remaining filling. Smooth the top.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
- Melt the Nutella until smooth, then pour it evenly over the chilled tiramisu. Warm the peanut butter slightly, place it in a piping bag, and pipe straight lines across the surface. Drag a knife in the opposite direction to create a feathered pattern.
- Slice with a warm knife and serve chilled.
Notes
- Coffee choice: Use strong-brewed coffee or espresso. Let it cool completely before dipping the ladyfingers.
- Soaking tip: Dip ladyfingers quickly—1–2 seconds per side. Over-soaking makes them soggy.
- Cheese temperature: Bring mascarpone and cream cheese to room temperature before mixing for a smoother texture.
- Whipping cream: Make sure cream is cold and only whip to soft peaks to avoid splitting.
- Peanut butter: Use creamy, stir‑well peanut butter. Mix thoroughly before using.
- Decorate while warm: Melt Nutella and slightly warm peanut butter right before decorating. If they cool, the pattern won’t spread cleanly.
- Make ahead: This tiramisu tastes best after chilling overnight, allowing flavors to develop.
