Tiramisu Ice Cream (No Churn)
A creamy, dreamy no-churn Tiramisu Ice Cream made with mascarpone, coffee-soaked ladyfingers, and a touch of coffee liqueur. All the flavor of classic tiramisu in a scoopable, freezer-friendly dessert!
Ingredients
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups cold heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla paste or vanilla extract
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese room temperature
- 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur like Kahlua (optional)
- 1 package ladyfinger cookies about 12–14
- ½ cup brewed espresso or strong coffee cooled
- unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, mascarpone, vanilla paste, and coffee liqueur until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso (1–2 seconds max), then chop or break into bite-sized chunks.
- Fold the coffee-soaked ladyfinger chunks into the ice cream base. Reserve a few for topping, if you'd like.
- Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or container. Smooth the top, press in extra ladyfinger bits if saved, and dust generously with cocoa powder. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping. Dust with more cocoa or chocolate shavings if desired.
Notes
- Don’t soak the ladyfingers, just a quick dip in coffee (1–2 seconds) to avoid them getting mushy.
- You can skip the coffee liqueur for an alcohol-free version.
- I used vanilla paste for stronger flavor and pretty flecks, but vanilla extract works too.
- Mascarpone must be at room temperature to blend smoothly without lumps.
- Store for up to 2 weeks tightly covered in the fridge. It’ll stay scoopable and creamy.
