Melon tiramisu

Melon tiramisu is an unmissable variant, with a fresh taste and a colorful appearance thanks to the fruit.

Melon tiramisu is a light and fresh variant of a very classic and well-known dessert. Among the main components remain the ladyfingers and a soft mascarpone cream , which they decided to prepare in a classic version with eggs or without, with cream or yogurt. The added value, however, is given by the presence of melon: this fruit is added in pieces to the dessert, interspersed with layers of cream and biscuits. Also add it as a decoration, to give a light and fresh touch of color to this dessert.

Suitable for the summer season , it will be good at the end of lunch or as a snack.

Melon tiramisu without eggs

To avoid taking risks and if you don't want to pasteurise the eggs, we recommend a quicker version with cream or yoghurt: to prepare it, all you need is half the mascarpone and add 250g of whipping cream or plain or Greek yoghurt .

For the version with cream, beat the mascarpone with a whisk and whip the cream in a second bowl until stiff, then add the two mixtures, being careful not to dismantle the cream.

For the version with yogurt , however, mix the mascarpone and yogurt together in the same bowl, again with an electric whisk.

After preparing the cream, proceed as in the basic recipe with the eggs.
