Name: Fake tiramisu without eggs: a no-bake dessert ready in no time
Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 12
Ingredients: 200 g butter; 1 kg smooth creamy quark; 250 ml milk; 2 packets cream/vanilla pudding powder without sugar (2 × 40 g); 1 tablespoon potato starch (Solamyl, Gustin); 3/4 cup granulated sugar (approx. 150 g); 2 tablespoons instant coffee; 300 ml hot water; optional 1–2 tablespoons rum or amaretto; approx. 700 g round sponge biscuits; Dutch cocoa for dusting

Preparation procedure

Prepare the coffee. Pour hot water over the instant coffee, stir and let cool slightly. For an adult version add rum or amaretto.
Make the quark cream. In a bowl whisk together the milk, pudding powders and starch until smooth. In a saucepan over low heat melt the butter with the sugar. Stir in the quark and then, while stirring constantly, pour in the pudding mixture in a thin stream. Cook 3–5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes (the cream should be warm, not hot).
Layer the dessert. Line the bottom of the pan with ladyfingers briefly dipped in coffee (don’t soak them long, they will soften). Spread a third of the cream. Repeat: ladyfingers – cream – ladyfingers – cream – ladyfingers. In total 4 layers of ladyfingers and 3 layers of cream, with the cream ending inside.
Finish and chill. Generously dust the surface with cocoa. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to cool and set.

Preparation time 25 minutes prep + 10 minutes cooking

Chilling at least 4 hours (ideally overnight)

Servings 12–16

Serving

Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry – the cuts will be smooth and neat. Serve well chilled.

Tips and variations

Prefer a stronger coffee flavor? Use some cocoa-flavored ladyfingers and add a teaspoon of instant espresso to the coffee.
Lighter version: replace part of the quark (300–400 g) with full-fat Greek yogurt.
For a festive touch, dust the first cream layer with cocoa and the second with finely grated chocolate.

Conclusion

Fake tiramisu without eggs is a dessert that relies on simple preparation and great taste. The quark-and-pudding cream is silky, the ladyfingers are beautifully infused with coffee and the whole thing holds together very well. Make it a day ahead – in the fridge the flavors meld perfectly and you’ll be rewarded with perfectly clean slices and delighted plates.
