The creamy layer is super creamy, velvety and delicious! It’s made with cream cheese that’s whipped to make it fluffy. Then, sugar and amaretto are added for flavor.

Instead of ladyfingers, I used pound cake slices for the cake layer. If you are not familiar with my pound cakes, I have a series of Pound Cakes that I have reviewed. You can find them here. I used my Sour Cream Pound Cake cut into 1-inch slices. This is a great way to use pound cake that may have dried out a little.

Tiramisu with Pound Cake

  1. You can use any ‘plain’ pound cake recipe for this recipe. Of course, you could also purchase a pound cake, but they are never as good to me.
  2. I used cream cheese for the middle layer. I wanted something that most everyone would have on hand. You can use traditional ricotta.
  3. However, I did make the whipped cream of the top. *You can use store-bought ‘Cool Whip’. To make Whipped Cream, in the bowl of an electric mixer, add 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons sugar (honey or maple syrup), and ½ teaspoon vanilla. Pour heavy whipping cream, sugar and vanilla into the cold bowl and whisk on high speed until medium to stiff peaks form, about 1 minute. Do not overbeat!
  4. The first time I made this, I was hesitant to use one cup of the coffee mixture. To get that nice flavor, you really need to use the entire amount to saturate the cake layers.
  5. I used a potato peeler to shave the chocolate. **A small chocolate Hershey bar is enough to decorate the top of your Tiramisu.

    I love Tiramisu but lady fingers are not easy to find. This sounds like a wonderful alternative. Pinned.
