Tiramisu is personally one of my most dreamy desserts to enjoy. Of course with me being lactose intolerant now, I can’t truly enjoy it (not to mention all the fat and calories from the mascarpone cheese.) I decided to create a healthier, dairy-free version to satisfy my craving for this creamy decadent dessert. This gingerbread version of tiramisu is perfect for Christmas or holiday parties and extremely easy to put together then store in fridge until ready to serve and dust with cocoa powder and add a small gingerbread cookie for an adorably delicious garnish.
One of the biggest fears that people have about conquering any tiramisu recipe is making an espresso or good quality strong coffee that the recipe calls for. I mean, how many people have a fancy espresso machine in their kitchen, right?!? Nowadays, you’d be hard pressed to find a drip machine in most houses instead of the popular pod coffee makers (like Keurig.) I’ve found a wonderful hack to keep on hand for recipes needing espresso: Espresso flavor extract.
Let’s begin!

Easy Gingerbread Tiramisu
Ingredients
Instructions
- When brewed coffee is still slightly hot, add to a small bowl along with molasses and stir until molasses is dissolved and blended well. Next, add rum and espresso extract and stir to combine, then set aside to cool while moving on to the next step.
- Add yogurt, lemon juice and honey to a medium bowl and mix together until well blended and whipped, about 3 minutes.
- Note: If making individual serving sizes, you may need to cut ladyfingers in half before beginning assembly.
- When ready to assembly, gather serving glasses or dish and dust bottom with 1/2 of cocoa powder using a sifter.
- Next, quickly dip each lady finger into the coffee mixture and place in bottom of each glass.
- Spoon half of the yogurt mixture on top of ladyfingers and sprinkle a little of the chopped crystallized ginger on each, (using it all.)
- Complete with adding one more layer of dipped ladyfingers and other half of yogurt mixture.
- Cover and place in refrigerator to chill5 for at least 1-2 hours before serving, then dust each serving with cocoa powder and add a small gingerbread cookie to center, if desired.
Notes
Note: You can substitute the lady fingers for gingersnaps, if desired.
Note: I am lactose intolerant, that is why I choose to create a dairy-free version, but if you would like to use real dairy ingredients you can (equal substitution amounts.)
