NO-BAKE VANILLA TIRAMISU ROLL
This no-bake vanilla tiramisu roll blends creamy mascarpone, whipped cream, and vanilla wafers for an elegant dessert. Easy to assemble and full of flavour, it’s a perfect fuss-free treat for special occasions or weeknight indulgence.
Ingredients
For the Cream Filling:
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Base:
- 24 vanilla wafer cookies or ladyfingers
- 1 cup brewed coffee or espresso cooled
For Dusting and Topping:
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Chocolate shavings optional
Instructions
Make the Filling:
- In a bowl, beat mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. In another bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the mascarpone mixture.
Soak and Layer:
- Quickly dip each vanilla wafer in coffee and place them in a row on a large piece of plastic wrap, slightly overlapping, to form a rectangle.
Spread and Roll:
- Spread the cream filling evenly over the wafer layer. Using the plastic wrap to help, gently roll the dessert into a log. Wrap tightly and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serve:
- Unwrap, dust with cocoa powder, and top with chocolate shavings if desired. Slice and serve cold.
