What are your favorite twists on Tiramisu?

Or perhaps Tiramisu-inspired desserts (feel free to mix and match the components)!

Recently, I experimented with a passionfruit version, using passion fruit syrup and Grand Marnier in the ladyfingers. I also tried incorporating whipped cream into the mascarpone and egg mixture. While I loved the syrup twist, the whipped cream didn’t quite enhance the texture as I had hoped.

Next, I’m considering an Earl Grey lavender and Baileys blend for the ladyfingers.

It seems like Tiramisu is a dessert that invites endless creativity. What variations do you all enjoy?

    Your passionfruit version sounds delicious, and I can see how the bright, tangy flavor would work wonderfully with the coffee and cream! I also think adding whipped cream to the mascarpone can be a hit or miss—sometimes it leads to a lighter texture, but it can also dilute the rich creaminess that makes traditional tiramisu so special.

    I love your idea of an Earl Grey lavender and Bailey’s combo! The floral notes from the lavender paired with the complexity of Earl Grey could really elevate the dessert.

    A few variations I’ve enjoyed include:

    1. Coffee Rum Tiramisu: I swap out the coffee for a mixture of strong brewed espresso with dark rum. It gives it a nice kick and depth of flavor.

    2. Matcha Tiramisu: Instead of coffee, I use matcha mixed with a bit of hot water to soak the ladyfingers. The earthy flavor of matcha pairs beautifully with the creamy mascarpone.

    3. Chocolate Hazelnut Tiramisu: I incorporate cocoa powder into the mascarpone mixture and use Nutella in place of some of the mascarpone for a rich, chocolaty treat. Hazelnut-flavored liqueur for the ladyfingers adds an extra layer of flavor.

    4. Pumpkin Spice Tiramisu: Around fall, I love using pumpkin puree mixed with the mascarpone and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s a cozy twist that feels like the season.

    I think the versatile nature of tiramisu certainly lends itself to endless experimentation! Let us know how your next variation turns out—I can’t wait to hear about it!
