I’ve been craving Tiramisu for quite some time. This creamy and elegant Tiramisu Ice Cream dessert always delights me and our guests as well. This is a dessert I can never resist. The smooth Mascarpone cream combined with the coffee dipped ladyfingers turns into an heavenly delicious dessert. I am used to use the classic recipe using fresh eggs and no whipped cream and I’ve never encountered any problems with that.
Thinking in what way I should serve it, put it in a pan overnight or just serve it in cups or jars I finally decided to make an ice cream version,  Tiramisu Ice Cream. Here we deal with a very hot summer and all I am thinking is how to make cooling refreshing recipes suitable for this season. Hope you will enjoy this as much as we did.

I am glad you like it! Worth to be tried, trust me.
Tiramisu icecream? Genius! Can’t wait to try this
It worth to be tried. It is amazingly delicious. I personally love it.
This was delicious, but I soaked the fingers too much, and when it froze, they were ice-block ish and difficult to cut through. (Just a tip for those who wanna try it!) Also did it without brandy, and still tasted good. The mascarpone mixture surprisingly had an ice-cream texture instead of an ice block texture, which was delightful!
Yes you are right it is important not to soak the fingers too much, it happened tome too with some of them and indeed they were frozen too much. The ones soaked only on the edges, not entirely were perfect. I love to use Mascarpone in ice cream recipes not only in tiramisu because of this effect over the ice cream, it keeps it creamy it doesn't get too hard. For those who don't have an ice cream maker using Mascarpone on their homemade ice cream is a brilliant idea. You won't need to stir it every half an hour.
FANTASTIC! I wasn’t sure how it would turn out, having no cream, but the Mascarpone nailed it! I will definitely make this again. Next time, I will put the soak in a pie tin, so there will be little chance of over-soaking, and will cut my lady fingers into about 1/2″ slices. An adult dessert with the brandy, but can easily stand alone, without it. I used instant espresso powder. Next time I will make a simple syrup/espresso powder reduction, add cocoa powder to it, and drizzle it on the plates before serving.
It is a recipe worthy of a 5 star restaurant!
So glad you liked it:) I make it often without brandy and is delicious, one of our favorite recipes too.Good idea of espresso/cocoa syrup.. mmm guess you just convinced me to make this recipe again:)
is 250 grams considered 2 cups of marscapone? How many lady fingers do I need? They are sold in pkgs.
250 g mascarpone is around 1 cup +1 or 2 tbsp more of mascarpone cheese. As for the lady fingers you won't need too many. Not even 1 package, somewhere between 5-8 lady fingers. Here we love them and the rest ogf the package we serve along coffee or other fruits.
Dear Ella
Thanks for this recipe. i tried it last night and it turned out so good. A friends family had come for dinner and they all simply loved it . will be sharing this recipe with them as they insisted for it. will also direct them to this website.
However, for my own curiosity i have a question..while i was serving it directly from the dish i froze tiramisu in, after 5 to 6 mins i felt that it was getting slightly watery at the bottom. it didnt spoil the taste of the icecream but to me it didnt look good so thought to inquire as to where I could have gone wrong.
please do advise and thanks for sharing this recipe and promptly replying to all the quries
God bless you 🙂
Adeeha, sorry for the late answer on this comment. I am so glad you enjoyed this tiramisu ice cream. We love it too, it's amazing. Maybe next time try to take it out of the dish you froze it, like I did, I think this is the reason it as getting watery at the bottom.
Hii Ella
should the mascarpone be at room temperature..?? please reply ..??
Love
yes.. it is better to work with if at room temperature.. sorry for the late answer
Hi Ella!
you are such a great inspiration!! Don’t have words some times…
I wanted to know if this tiramisu ice cream or the tiramisu cake will work out good with out the mascarpone?
if not what would be a good substitute?
Thank you so much
I make tiramisu all the time as love this dessert but I never add the alcohol as prefer it without. Never thought you could make an icecream from it. Everyone that has tried my homemade tiramisu love it so cant wait to share the icecream version with friends and family.
