My vanilla tiramisu is a great make ahead as it tastes better the longer it sits in the fridge. It becomes moister, sweeter and more refreshing and it literally melts in your mouth! Just divine! And for those who don’t really enjoy cheese in their desserts, rest assure, this recipe is perfect for you too because it has none! This is a mock version of the classic tiramisu and it doesn’t use cream cheese or mascarpone cheese, just vanilla pudding, whipped cream and a little bit of cocoa dusting with some tiny chocolate flakes.

To give it a more festive look I chose to make my vanilla tiramisu recipe in a round cake pan with a removable bottom which made my cake not only more elegant but easier to put together too. But feel free to choose whatever cake pan you have, especially if you don’t plan to make the cake for a celebration but just as a quick, every day dessert.

Vanilla Tiramisu

Ingredients:

• 34 ladyfingers (use more or less as needed; cut to fit where necessary) – or make your own lady fingers
• 1 pouch vanilla powder
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 17 oz milk (to make the vanilla pudding)
• 4 cups coffee made with instant coffee (I made my coffee pretty light, feel free to adjust according to your taste)
• 2 cups whipped cream

For the whipped cream:

• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream

You will also need:

• 9″ round cake pan with removable bottom
• whisk
• medium saucepan
• tablespoon
• hand mixer
• mixing bowl
• sharp knife

To decorate:

• icing sugar
• cocoa powder
• chocolate flakes

Directions:

• Make the whipped cream. Place the sugar into the mixing bowl and add the whipping cream. Whisk until the cream reaches stiff peaks. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
• Take a round cake pan with removable bottom and carefully arrange ladyfingers around the sides in a verticla position, and then on the bottom, laying flat (using a sharp knife, cut some of the ladyfingers in small pieces to fit in the gaps).
• Using a tablespoon, add coffee over the ladyfingers at the bottom only, until slightly moist (don’t pour too much coffee!)
• Make the vanilla pudding as instructed on the package.
• Pour a little over the ladyfingers bed at the bottom of the cake pan.
• Immediately add another layer of ladyfingers, coffee and vanilla pudding.
• Continue until you finish the ladyfingers.
• Now it’s time to pour some coffee over the ladyfingers around the sides. Again, don’t pour too much coffee, a little goes a log way!
• End with a generous layer of whipped cream.
• Dust with cocoa powder, icing sugar and sprinkle chocolate flakes, as desired.
• Keep refrigerated for at least 2 hours. Tastes better the longer it sits.
• Remove the sides of the cake pan when ready to serve.
