Tiramisu is a no-bake dessert, making it an excellent option for summer when turning on the oven is the least favorite thing to do. If you’re a fan of the Italian pastry, chances are you’ve already tried the classic tiramisu a few times. Now, you’re probably looking for ways to enjoy that flavor but with a twist.

That’s precisely what the toasted almond tiramisu recipe offers. This variation of the classic tiramisu has ladyfingers soaked in an amaretto-flavored milk mixture. This is then layered with Italian mascarpone cream, and topped with crunchy amaretti cookies and almond crumbs. Dee-licious!

Tips to Make the Perfect Tiramisu

Don’t Soak!

First and foremost, don’t leave your ladyfinger cookies into the dipping mixture for too long – dip them for a few seconds only. Soaking ladyfinger cookies makes them overly soggy, and that results in a wet and messy dessert.

Line Your Pan

Before layering your tiramisu, line the dish with plastic wrap. This will make it more convenient for you to flip the dessert into the serving dish (after it has chilled), so you can get the full effect of your layered dessert without it falling over.

Switch the Layers

Want to create a sturdier dessert tiramisu that doesn’t look like the Leaning Tower of Pisa? Criss-cross cookie layers when layering your tiramisu. This will make it easier for you to cut the dessert and make the dessert look more beautiful.

Mix Up the Flavors

Tiramisu doesn’t always have to be coffee-flavored. There’s nothing wrong with keeping it classic, but don’t be afraid to experiment with toasted almonds and fruits and switch things up with liquor, rum, amaretto, and more. 

Be Patient

Most importantly, don’t rush things when making a tiramisu. After layering, refrigerate the dish for at least 4-5 hours, so it’s fully chilled before serving. You can also leave it in the refrigerator overnight if you like to prepare things in advance.
