We all know that Italy is the land of delicacies, and we know what we are talking about when it comes to dessert! Who doesn’t love a good Tiramisu?

How to replace coffee in this recipe
What’s the best swap for coffee? Here’s some ideas:

Let’s make this no-coffee tiramisu!
You can use all the above-mentioned swaps, but we decided to go with the barley soluble powder one, so here we go, take note for the next time you are hosting a dinner!
Ingredients:
- Mascarpone cheese, 18 oz
- Ladyfingers, 14 oz
- Granulated sugar, ¾ cup
- Eggs, 6
- Orzo powder
- Cocoa powder
Preparation:
- Mix the mascarpone cheese and the granulated sugar together in a bowl
- Divide the eggs (whites and yolks) and add the yolks in the bowl, whisk, and add the whites in the end. Keep whisking until you feel the mixture tightening
- Following the indication, make your soluble “orzo coffee” and dip the ladyfingers in it. In the tray you are going to serve the dessert in, begin with a layer of dipped ladyfingers, and the one of mascarpone, and keep doing so until you run out of ingredients.
- Sprinkle the cocoa powder on top
- Before serving, your barley tiramisu should stay in the fridge for at least 3 hours
