15. The Easiest Eggless Tiramisu

Though most tiramisu recipes contain raw egg, this one doesn’t even need yolk to deliver on richness. The stars are layers of whipped mascarpone cheese and espresso-soaked ladyfingers. Of course, without the egg yolk to ensure a custard-like texture, cold temperatures of your dairy ingredients will be key when assembling this no-bake dessert.
