Tiramisu is the quintessential Italian dessert, suitable for all occasions, from parties to family dinners. The original recipe calls for a few simple ingredients: ladyfingers, mascarpone, eggs, coffee, and cocoa powder. Variants can be created by replacing coffee and cocoa with fresh ingredients like fruit.

Fruit Tiramisu: the simplest summer variant

Fruit tiramisu, the fresh and summer variant of the classic dessert made with ladyfingers and coffee. On hot days, one craves a dessert that isn’t too heavy, with a fresh and inviting flavor. Moreover, it is a lighter and more digestible version, with lower caloric content. The most popular variations are strawberry or lemon.

Summer Tiramisu with Strawberries: the most indulgent variant

To prepare the summer tiramisu with strawberries, you will need ladyfingers, eggs, sugar, strawberries, and mascarpone. Start with the eggs; it’s best to take them out of the fridge a few hours before preparation. Prepare the strawberries by cutting them into small pieces and placing them in a bowl with lemon juice and a teaspoon of sugar. With the resulting liquid, you can soak the ladyfingers.

Separate the egg yolks from the whites, ensuring that the whites do not come into contact with any yolk, as this is the most common mistake. Beat the yolks with the sugar to obtain a thick and creamy mixture. The egg whites will need to be whipped with a pinch of salt, which will help keep them firm.

Take the egg mixture and add the mascarpone, followed by the whipped egg whites a little at a time. At this point, you can start to assemble the dessert, layer by layer, dipping the ladyfingers in the strawberry liquid and adding the fruits on top of the mascarpone cream. Let it rest in the fridge for an hour and serve.

Eggless Summer Tiramisu: the lighter version

The eggless summer tiramisu is made in the same way as the classic version, but instead of eggs, cream is added. This way, the dessert will be lighter and more digestible.

The ingredients for eggless summer tiramisu are ladyfingers, mascarpone, sugar, cream, coffee, and unsweetened cocoa. In a bowl, place the mascarpone, sugar, and previously whipped cream, incorporating everything with a spatula. You will get a smooth and homogeneous cream; place it in the fridge for 15 minutes before assembling the dessert. Now you can prepare your tiramisu, layer by layer, and enjoy its irresistible eggless lightness.

Summer Tiramisu with Lemon: the freshness of citrus for an irresistible dessert

The summer lemon tiramisu is made with limoncello mixed with lemon zest. Easy and delicious, it is ideal for concluding a dinner with the fresh and citrusy tones of lemon.

To prepare the lemon tiramisu, you will need ladyfingers, mascarpone, eggs, sugar, white chocolate, limoncello, mint, and lemon zest from lemons. The ladyfingers are dipped lightly in the limoncello, while the mascarpone cream is flavored with lemon zest. The white chocolate should be grated into shavings to be added to the cream during assembly, along with a few fresh mint leaves. The result? A fresh and light tiramisu, with the intense and unique aroma of the most beloved citrus fruit.

Summer Tiramisu Recipe: the mistake to avoid

The summer tiramisu recipe is quite simple, but there are some common mistakes that can prevent it from turning out perfectly. The most usual mistake is related to the mixture of yolks and sugar with the whipped egg whites or cream. These are mixtures that need to be whipped, and it is essential for the tiramisu to be soft and airy. Joining the mixtures incorrectly or whipping the egg whites too quickly can deflate the mixture, breaking it down and liquefying the mascarpone, which will no longer be airy but liquid.

To avoid all this, you must proceed with all operations slowly, adding the mixtures little by little, stirring gently with a spatula. Also, remember to be very careful when separating the yolks from the whites, as even a tiny bit of yolk in the whites can prevent the whites from whipping.

Summer Tiramisu with Peaches

Peaches are the most loved fruit of the season, so why not use them to make a perfect, fresh, and natural tiramisu?

To prepare it, follow the same procedure already described for the strawberry tiramisu. Of course, this time you won’t need either cocoa or coffee, and the soaking liquid for the ladyfingers is made with the juice of peaches that you have previously cut into pieces and allowed to macerate in the fridge with lemon juice and sugar.

Tiramisu: a summer dessert that's good all year round, in many variations to try. Enjoy your meal!
