No-Bake Cinnamon Tiramisu
A traditional Italian dessert gets a tasty cinnamon-spiced twist in this NO-BAKE CINNAMON TIRAMISU!
I am a self-proclaimed tiramisu addict, and I have no shame in admitting that, folks. There is just something about that creamy mixture of mascarpone cheese, rich coffee, & delicate ladyfingers that I just can’t resist. While I can always go for a slice of good ole traditional tiramisu, I always find myself playing around with the flavors in my homemade versions. Since fall is just around the corner, I thought why not try my hand at a warm cinnamon-spiced version?
I left out the cocoa powder entirely in this no-bake version and replaced with it layers of sweet cinnamon flavor. The coffee that the ladyfingers are soaked with has been steeped with a whole cinnamon stick. Then ground cinnamon is whipped into the creamy filling. And for good measure, each slice is served with a little sprinkle of cinnamon over top. The perfect dessert for the cinnamon & tiramisu lover alike!

- 3 ounce ladyfingers split
- ¼ strongly brewed coffee + 1 tbsp sugar mixed in
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3.5 ounce package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup cold milk
- 4 oz mascarpone cheese
- 1 ½ cups whipping topping thawed

Instructions

- Arrange half of the ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking pan. Brush the ladyfingers with about half of the cooled cinnamon coffee.
- Spread half of the pudding/mascarpone cheese mixture over the ladyfingers in the dish. Cover with the remaining ladyfingers; then brush the second layer of ladyfingers with the remaining coffee mixture. Top with the remaining pudding/mascarpone cheese mixture.
