Print Recipe

A tropical twist on classic tiramisu featuring creamy mascarpone, coconut rum-soaked ladyfingers, and a hint of coconut for a refreshing, indulgent dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) coconut rum (Malibu preferred)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) strong brewed coffee, cooled (dark roast recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 8 oz (225 g) mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, chilled (whipped to soft peaks)
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) coconut milk (full fat preferred)
  • 24 ladyfingers (savoiardi biscuits)
  • Toasted shredded coconut, for garnish
  • Fresh pineapple chunks or mango slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coconut Rum Soak: In a shallow bowl, combine coconut rum, cooled coffee, and granulated sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves. Set aside.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Avoid overwhipping.
  3. Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture: Gently fold mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and coconut milk together until smooth and creamy.
  4. Combine Cream and Mascarpone: Carefully fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture in batches using a spatula to keep it airy.
  5. Soak the Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coconut rum soak for 1-2 seconds per side. Do not soak too long.
  6. Assemble the Tiramisu: Arrange half the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of the dish. Spread half the mascarpone cream over them. Repeat with remaining ladyfingers and cream. Smooth the top.
  7. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to let flavors meld and cream set.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle toasted shredded coconut on top and add fresh pineapple or mango slices if desired.

Notes

Dip ladyfingers quickly to avoid sogginess. Chill tiramisu at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Use good quality mascarpone. Warm mascarpone gently if too stiff. Whip cream to soft peaks only. Fold cream gently to keep airy texture. Adjust rum and coffee balance to taste.
