Step-by-Step Instructions

Cooking Time: 0 minutes (no-bake dessert)
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 6 servings
Step 1: Prepare the Coffee Mixture
Dissolve the instant coffee in 100 ml of hot water. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
Pour the cooled coffee mixture into a shallow dish; this will be used for soaking the sponge fingers.
Step 2: Make the Cream Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the whipping cream and powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Slowly add the milk, vanilla sugar, and vanilla-flavored cream mix. Continue beating until the mixture is thick and smooth.
Step 3: Layer the Tiramisu
Dip each sponge finger briefly into the coffee mixture, ensuring they absorb some liquid without becoming overly soggy.
Arrange a single layer of coffee-soaked sponge fingers in the bottom of your serving dish or individual cups.
Spread a generous layer of the cream mixture over the sponge fingers, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Repeat the process, adding another layer of soaked sponge fingers and topping with the cream mixture.
Continue layering until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cream.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, or overnight for best results.
Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder or grated chocolate for garnish.
Slice or scoop into portions and enjoy!
