I just made this for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it! They said it was “surprisingly delicious” lol. I think they were suspicious of a non-traditional tiramisu!

Does the cranberry sauce need to cool and for how long prior to assembly?

10 to 15 minutes, it should feel lukewarm, close to room temp

I'm so excited because this is in the fridge right now for a dinner party tonight. I need to take it to my friend's house, do I need to pack the sugar? Will it weep into the custard if I dust it before I leave home? Thank you for the recipe!! 💓

I just made this for Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit! I have a family member who is allergic to eggs, so I had to omit them. It made the cream layer more dense but it was still very tasty. I can't wait to try out the recipe with the eggs included. Thank you Carolina!

Alright, throwing down in the kitchen.

Making some substitutions, out of necessity, and the morbid curiosity that a couple drinks has worked into me. Dark Chocolate Milano cookies, and Licor 43.

Can this be made a couple days ahead of time and left in refrigerator? without the strawberry powder, of course

Can any Berry work for this recipe? I’m from

Australia, and it isn’t easy to find cranberries. Thank you! 🤗

definitely! I would go for raspberries (you can use frozen ones since they're cheaper than fresh), they would be delicious :)

Yes it can work, but the tartness is offset by the filling. So, be sure to pick something tart in order to maintain the valance or you may need to adjust your sugar ratios.

Are you using regular cranberry juice, or a completely unsweetened cranberry juice?

Will it be too tart if I use regular unsweetened cranberry juice? I took a sip and was like :x

Might be a bit too tart! You can sweeten it yourself by adding a little sugar to it until is more palatable :)

So... not 100% cranberry juice (such as knudsen) but rather “cran juice cocktail” (such as ocean spray)? Thx. Love your stack and insta!

Any idea if you could make this ahead and freeze?

I haven’t frozen tiramisu before, but I just did some research and it seems to be pretty common. It should work fine, just make sure you save the strawberry sugar topping to sprinkle on right before serving.

Where are the two cups of water being used?

in the cranberry sauce. let me edit that instruction, I missed mentioning the water :)

This was really good!! Super fun/festive, and turned out delicious. A few tweaks I made in case helpful for others:

-I whipped about half the egg white with half the sugar and folded that in and slightly decreased the cream, just based on my preferred texture for the cream when making regular tiramisu.

-I heated the egg yolk/sugar and white/sugar mixtures (each separately) over a double boiler and left out the booze, so that my daughter could also try some.

-Next time, I would probably quickly blitz the cranberry sauce with an immersion blender to make it smoother.

Thanks for the recipe!
