A quick and easy no-bake tiramisu ice cream cake combining classic tiramisu flavors with creamy vanilla ice cream, perfect for Father’s Day or any celebration.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 quart (946 ml) vanilla ice cream, softened
  • About 20 ladyfingers
  • 1 cup (240 ml) espresso or strong coffee, cooled
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
  • Cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Brew 1 cup (240 ml) of strong espresso or coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup (240 ml) of cold heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
  3. In another bowl, combine 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and optional 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur. Gently fold in the whipped cream until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso—just a second on each side to avoid sogginess. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with a single layer of soaked ladyfingers.
  5. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers. Add a layer of softened vanilla ice cream (about half the carton). Smooth with a spatula.
  6. Repeat with another soaked ladyfinger layer, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture and ice cream.
  7. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set fully.
  8. Remove from the freezer 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Dust the top generously with sifted cocoa powder just before slicing.

Notes

Let mascarpone soften at room temperature before mixing. Whip cream to soft peaks only. Quickly dip ladyfingers to avoid sogginess. Let ice cream sit at room temperature 5-7 minutes if too hard to spread. Freeze overnight for best results. Serve slightly softened for easier slicing. Use serrated knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts.
