Peanut Butter Tiramisu - An Italian Taught Recipe

Ciao a tutti!Tiramisu is one of BigBoy’s favourite desserts. It’s layered, with each bite filled with taste of coffee and eggs, smooth on the palate. It’s somewhat reminiscent of eating ice cream but with a more substantial texture. It’s simply heavenly.


Wait a moment, peanut butter in Tiramisu? You’re not seeing things—some Italians indeed add peanut butter to Tiramisu! This peanut butter-flavored Tiramisu was a recipe shared by an Italian classmate during my studies in Australia. He mentioned that many Italians enjoy adding peanut butter to Tiramisu, creating a unique and delightful twist to this dessert.


Initially skeptical, I decided to give it a try, and to my surprise, the combination of peanut butter with coffee enhances the flavors in a way that goes beyond just the coffee taste, adding layers and depth to the experience. Now, I tell everyone around me that this is a must-try variation of Tiramisu.



Tiramisu is a very easy dessert to make, but there are a few things to keep in mind:


  1. When making the sabayon, be sure to occasionally lift the bowl off the water bath to prevent the egg yolks from overheating and clumping.

  2. Do not soak the ladyfingers excessively in coffee, or your Tiramisu might become watery in the dish.

  3. Some people prefer not to use ladyfingers for making Tiramisu; using sponge cake as a substitute is also an option.


As long as you pay attention to these points, making a silky-smooth Tiramisu is absolutely achievable. So, without further delay, watch the video below or scroll down for the written recipe to make your delicious Peanut Butter Tiramisu step by step!
