I occastionally prepare the tradtional and authentic classic Italian tiramisu cake recipe with mascarpone for my family, but was recently asked by a close friend of mine who suffers from allergies to egg and mascarpone if I would experiment and development an eggless tiramisu without mascarpone.
Since I love challenges, I played around with a few variations of egg free Tiramisu without mascarpone and the results were amazing…after of course….a million tries!
Through trial and error, I tested replacing mascarpone in my original tiramisu recipe with cream cheese, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, Crème Fraiche and Greek Yogurt.
The Results
Ricotta cheese, which I whipped came out at the top out of all my countless tests and out performed all the other cheeses and Greek yogurt but I will say the the cream cheese came very close, so that would be my second pick.
