This Tiramisu Tart is a quick no bake dessert recipe that’s easy to make in just 15 minutes and sure to become your new favorite dessert!
This recipe was inspired by my original plan to make a layered Tiramisu dip for my Housewarming Party. That never happened.
I’ve learned after throwing dozens of parties that sometimes I just have to throw in the towel on a couple planned menu items. I always start with the party “must haves” and then leave the rest up to fate. As fate would have it, the Tiramisu dip was not made, but two days later this delicious Tiramisu Tart came into my life!
I decided on a tart simply because I had a new tart dish sitting on a shelf begging to be used! I had originally planned to use Ginger Snap cookies for dipping, so I simply ground them up in my food processor and made them into the crust, then filled it with the dip. This made for a great evening treat all week.
Ingredients
- Ginger snap crumbs – place ginger snap cookies in a food processor and blend until they turn into a fine crumb mixture. You can also place them in a large zipper bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.
- Butter – melt the butter then let it cool slightly before preparing the crust.
- Granulated sugar – to sweeten the crust.
- Mascarpone cheese
- Ricotta cheese
- Sour cream
- Brown sugar
- Coffee syrup – Torani Syrups can be purchased at places such as World Market or Smart and Final. If you prefer not to use the syrup, you can replace it with 2 shots of espresso.
- Marsala wine
- Cocoa powder
- Chocolate shavings – shaved from a bar of chocolate using a vegetable peeler.
Instructions
Prepare the crust by combining ginger snap crumbs, melted butter and granulated sugar in a small mixing bowl. Next, press the mixture into a tart pan.
Place the crust in the refrigerator while making the filling.
Use an electric hand mixer, or stand mixer, to cream together the mascarpone cheese, ricotta cheese, and sour cream.
Next, add in the brown sugar, coffee syrup and marsala wine.
Use the mixer to combine all of the ingredients for 2-3 minutes, or until the filling is smooth and creamy, then spoon it into the prepared crust.
Dust the cocoa powder on top using a sifter.
Then, shave the chocolate on top. I used a vegetable peeler and it worked just fine!
And voila, one delicious Tiramisu tart is complete! I love the combination of the rich cheese, sweet chocolate and coffee flavor.
This is a quick and simple dessert that can be made in 15 minutes or less with no need to bake.
There’s no excuse not to take this to your next dinner party. No one else will know how simple it is because it looks so decadent!
