Main Ingredients

- 16 ounces (450g) mascarpone cheese, softened. Good quality mascarpone makes all the difference.
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, chilled. Keep it proper cold for best whipping.
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar.
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract.
- Pinch of salt. Balances the sweetness, innit?

Seasoning Notes
This Coffee Tiramisu will explode your tastebuds.
Essential spice? Not really needed here. I mean, you can use a Easy Coffee , but the Easy Tiramisu flavor comes from the coffee and liqueur.
Vanilla extract, a good flavor enhancer , just ties it all together. If you haven’t got coffee liqueur, try a bit of coffee extract instead.
I’ve even used a dash of almond extract once, and it was brill. The important ingredient is definitely the Mascarpone, which makes this a Mascarpone Dessert Recipe .
This dessert is also a Quick Tiramisu Dessert , that is No-Bake Tiramisu .
Equipment Needed
Nothing too fancy here.
All you need are essential tools. An electric mixer is essential. Handheld or stand mixer works fine. A shallow dish or baking pan (about 8x8 inches ) does the trick.
Mixing bowls and measuring cups are critical. You might need a sieve or fine mesh strainer for the cocoa powder. Honestly, you can use a fork for that last bit if you're careful.
Alright, let's talk about this mad creation: Easy Coffee and Donut Tiramisu . Honestly, it sounds bonkers, right? But in the best possible way.
I mean, donuts AND tiramisu? My inner child is screaming with joy.
Dunkin' Delight: Mastering the Assembly
We're diving into a ridiculously Easy Tiramisu Recipe – the kind that requires minimal effort. It’s all about layering and chilling. Think of it as posh trifle for the modern age.
Prep Steps: Getting Your Ducks in a Row
First things first, the mise en place . Brew your coffee. Strong, proper coffee. 1 ½ cups (355 ml) worth. Let it cool a bit.
This is crucial, as we don’t want to melt the donuts. Then get your 16 ounces (450g) of mascarpone softening.
Remember, room temperature is your friend here. If you’re adding coffee liqueur (2 tablespoons / 30 ml) , now’s the time to get it ready.
Finally, chop up 6-8 glazed donuts . I always sneak a bite (or two) at this stage. Don’t judge me!
step-by-step: Building Your Donut Dream
- Soak the Donuts: Briefly dunk each donut piece in the cooled coffee. Don't let them get soggy! A quick dip does the trick.
- Whip It Good: Whip 1 cup (240 ml) of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. We're talking proper stiff peaks, you know?
- Creamy Goodness: Beat together the softened mascarpone, ½ cup (100g) of sugar, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
- Layer Up: In your dish, arrange a layer of coffee soaked donuts. Spread half the mascarpone cream over them. Repeat.
- Chill Out: Cover and chill for at least 1 hour . This is where the magic happens. Flavors meld. Textures harmonize.
Pro Tips: Nailing the Coffee Tiramisu
- Donut Choice: Glazed donuts are best. They soak up the coffee without turning to mush. But a Tiramisu with Donuts is always worth experimenting on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the Easy Coffee and Donut Tiramisu ahead of time?
Absolutely! In fact, it's better if you do. Making this Easy Coffee and Donut Tiramisu ahead of time allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. You can assemble it up to 24 hours in advance and keep it covered in the fridge.
Just remember to dust with cocoa powder right before serving to avoid it getting soggy, like a soggy bottom on "The Great British Bake Off".
What kind of donuts work best for this Easy Coffee and Donut Tiramisu recipe?
Plain glazed donuts are the gold standard for this tiramisu because they soak up the coffee nicely without being too dense. Avoid cake donuts, as they tend to get a bit dry, even when soaked.
However, if you're feeling adventurous, you could experiment with other flavors, just keep in mind how they'll play with the coffee and mascarpone, think "Eastenders" meeting "Masterchef".
How long does the Easy Coffee and Donut Tiramisu last in the fridge?
This Easy Coffee and Donut Tiramisu is best enjoyed within 2-3 days of making it. The donuts will start to get a little too soft after that, like letting your cuppa go cold! Store it covered in the fridge to maintain its freshness.
Can I make this Easy Coffee and Donut Tiramisu without the coffee liqueur?
You definitely can! The coffee liqueur adds a little extra oomph, but it's not essential. You can substitute it with a teaspoon of coffee extract or simply omit it altogether and use slightly stronger coffee for soaking the donuts.
It'll still be a delightful treat, even without the boozy kick, sort of like a PG version of "James Bond."
Is there a way to make this Easy Coffee and Donut Tiramisu a bit healthier?
While tiramisu is inherently a treat, there are a few ways to lighten it up. You could use reduced fat mascarpone cheese and heavy cream, or even substitute some of the mascarpone with Greek yogurt for a tangy twist.
Opting for smaller donuts will reduce the overall calorie count too, although, where is the fun in that?
