Ube Tiramisu
Creamy layers of soft purple, melt-in-the-mouth biscuits, an enveloping sweetness: the ube tiramisu reinvents the Italian classic, without coffee.
No baking, made the day before, it's guaranteed to impress.
Tiramisu goes purple
We keep the creamy mascarpone filling and swap the coffee for ube.
The ube powder, dissolved in a little milk, soaks the biscuits in a gentle, vanilla-scented purple. The result is a wonderfully light dessert, less bitter than the original, perfect for those who love sweetness. A festive dessert, no oven.
Without coffee, this tiramisu is caffeine-free: you can enjoy it even in the evening, with no second thoughts.

The lightness comes from the whisked whites.
Fold in the stiff whites gently, lifting the mixture, to keep the cream airy. Dip the biscuits quickly, without soaking them. Chilling, ideally overnight, ties all the flavours together.
For a version without raw egg, replace the whites with whipped cream: the texture stays creamy.
