Easy 10-Minute Eggless Tiramisu – Creamy, Quick & No-Bake

🎉 Introduction
Tiramisu is one of the world’s most loved desserts — rich layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, creamy mascarpone, and cocoa dusting. But traditional tiramisu takes time (and raw eggs). This eggless tiramisu recipe is a simplified, no-bake version that comes together in just 10 minutes!

By swapping raw eggs for whipped cream and mascarpone, you still get the velvety, cloud-like layers without compromising flavor. Perfect for last-minute dinner parties, romantic date nights, or when you need a dessert that looks impressive but takes minimal effort.
