Description

This Decadent Passion Fruit Tiramisu is a tropical twist on the classic Italian dessert, featuring layers of creamy mascarpone infused with passion fruit concentrate and soaked ladyfingers dipped in a rum and passion fruit juice mixture. With delicate notes of rum and fresh passion fruit, this no-bake dessert offers a luscious balance of sweet and tangy flavors, perfect for entertaining or a special treat. The dessert requires careful preparation of the mascarpone cream and assembling layers for a light, airy finish that melds beautifully after chilling.

Ingredients

Mascarpone Cream

  • 6 Egg Yolks
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Rum
  • 2 packages (16 oz) Mascarpone Cheese
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 3 tablespoons Passion Fruit Concentrate

Soaking Juice Mixture

  • 1 cup Passion Fruit Concentrate (see notes)
  • 3/4 cup Water
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 cup Rum

Assembly

  • 1 package Ladyfingers cookies (about 40-45)
  • Fruits for decorating (optional)
  • 1/4 cup White chocolate shavings (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the egg yolks and sugar mixture: In a saucepan or double boiler at the lowest heat, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and rum continuously for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens, becomes frothy, and pale yellow. This requires constant attention to avoid curdling. Once done, remove from heat and cool quickly by placing the pan in an ice or cold water bath.
  2. Prepare mascarpone cheese: In a mixing bowl, gently beat the mascarpone cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until softened. Avoid overbeating to prevent curdling.
  3. Whip heavy cream and combine with mascarpone and egg mixture: Whip the heavy cream to medium peaks. Fold the cooled egg yolk mixture into the mascarpone cheese gently, then fold in the whipped cream until combined. Add 3 tablespoons of passion fruit concentrate and fold again until evenly mixed.
  4. Make soaking juice mixture: In a glass bowl, combine 1 cup passion fruit concentrate, water, sugar, vanilla extract, and rum. Whisk well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  5. Assemble first layer of ladyfingers: Quickly dip half of the ladyfingers (dunk each side once, removing immediately to avoid sogginess) into the juice mixture and arrange them in the bottom of a 9×13 inch cake pan, cutting if necessary to fill gaps.
  6. Layer half of the mascarpone cream: Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the soaked ladyfingers using a spatula.
  7. Assemble second layer of ladyfingers: Repeat dipping the remaining ladyfingers in the juice mixture briefly and place on top of the cream layer.
  8. Top with remaining mascarpone cream: Spread the rest of the cream mixture over the second layer of ladyfingers. Optionally, pipe the cream for decorative effect.
  9. Decorate: Garnish the top with fresh fruits and white chocolate shavings if desired.
  10. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up.

Notes

  • Passion fruit concentrate can be substituted with passion fruit pulp or fresh juice if concentrate is unavailable, adjusting sweetness accordingly.
  • Ladyfingers absorb liquid quickly; do not soak too long to prevent sogginess.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and replace it with additional vanilla extract or passion fruit juice.
  • Best served chilled to enjoy optimal texture and flavor.
  • Chilling overnight enhances flavor melding and texture.
