There is something incredibly comforting about a good tiramisu. The soft coffee-soaked layers, creamy mascarpone filling, and light dusting of cocoa powder make it feel elegant yet so comforting at the same time. This Eggless Wholewheat Tiramisu keeps all those classic flavours and textures while using ingredients that make it feel a little lighter and more balanced.

This recipe uses my homemade Eggless Wholewheat Lady Finger Biscuits, a creamy filling made with paneer and mascarpone, and natural sweeteners instead of refined sugar. The result is a tiramisu that still tastes rich, creamy, and indulgent while being a slightly healthier alternative that you can enjoy more often. It is perfect for dinner parties, celebrations, festive desserts, or simply when you want a café-style dessert at home.

Let’s look at the main Ingredients!

Eggless Wholewheat Lady Finger Biscuits

These create the soft sponge-like layers in the tiramisu. Using wholewheat flour adds more fibre and makes the dessert feel more wholesome while still giving a soft texture once soaked.

Paneer

Paneer makes the filling creamy while reducing the amount of cream needed in the recipe. It also adds protein and gives the tiramisu a lighter texture without taking away from the richness.

Mascarpone Cheese

Mascarpone gives tiramisu its signature creamy texture and flavour. It adds richness and helps create that smooth melt-in-the-mouth layer.

Whipping Cream

Whipping cream makes the filling airy and soft. Since this recipe also uses paneer, you need less cream compared to traditional tiramisu recipes.

Raw Sugar

Raw sugar adds sweetness with a deeper flavour compared to refined white sugar. It blends beautifully into the creamy filling.

Jaggery

Jaggery sweetens the coffee soaking mixture naturally. It also adds a slight caramel-like flavour that pairs really well with coffee.

Instant Coffee Powder

Coffee is one of the main flavours in tiramisu. It adds depth, bitterness, and balances the sweetness of the dessert beautifully.

Vanilla Extract

Vanilla adds warmth and enhances all the flavours in the filling.

Salt

A tiny pinch of salt helps balance the sweetness and makes the flavours taste richer.

Cocoa Powder

The cocoa powder on top adds a slight bitterness and gives tiramisu its classic finish.

Alcohol (Optional)

A small splash of alcohol gives a more classic tiramisu flavour. You can skip it completely if you prefer.
