Ingredients

Ube Cream Mascarpone Mixture

  • 1½ cup whipping cream or heavy cream
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ube extract
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, room temperature

Ube Soak

  • 1½ cup strong espresso or coffee
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ube extract

Assembly

  • 24 ladyfingers
  • 2 tbsp ube powder (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Make the Ube Cream Mascarpone Mixture: In a mixing bowl, add the whipping cream and beat on medium speed using an electric mixer or stand mixer. Slowly incorporate ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ube extract while beating. Continue until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the room temperature mascarpone cheese until fully combined. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Ube Soak: In another bowl, combine 1½ cups strong espresso or coffee with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ube extract. Stir the mixture thoroughly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Dip Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the ube soak, ensuring both sides are lightly moistened but not soaked through. Immediately lay them in a single layer at the bottom of an 8×8 inch pan or a similar sized baking dish.
  4. First Layer Assembly: Spread half of the ube cream mascarpone mixture evenly over the layer of dipped ladyfingers.
  5. Second Layer of Ladyfingers: Repeat the dipping process with the remaining ladyfingers, placing another soaked layer on top of the cream layer.
  6. Top Layer: Smooth the remaining ube cream mascarpone mixture evenly on top of the second ladyfinger layer.
  7. Chill and Serve: Optionally dust the top with ube powder for added flavor and presentation. Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Do not soak ladyfingers for too long to avoid sogginess; a quick dip is sufficient.
  • Use room temperature mascarpone to prevent lumps in the cream mixture.
  • For a stronger ube flavor, adjust the ube extract quantity slightly according to taste.
  • Ube powder is optional but adds a beautiful color and subtle flavor.
  • This recipe does not use eggs, making it suitable for those avoiding raw eggs.
