How To Make Peach Melba Tiramisu

Mix the Filling: First, whip together the sugar, lemon juice, and egg yolks until light and fluffy. In another bowl, beat the cheese and cream until smooth. Then, gently fold the egg mixture and peach puree into the cheese mixture. Set this aside.

Make the Sauce: Combine the jam and water in a bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds and whisk it smooth. Add liquor if you want.

Build Your Tiramisu: Dip the ladyfingers in the sauce and arrange them in a single layer in a baking dish.

Layer Up the Flavor: Pour half of the cream mixture over the ladyfingers and top with half the raspberries. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and cream, and the rest of the raspberries.

Chill Out: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
The Big Reveal: Take out the tiramisu, garnish with raspberries, slice, and enjoy!

Variations & Substitutions

No Fresh Peaches? No Problem!: Don’t have fresh peaches on hand? You can substitute the peach puree with 1 ½ cups of peach jam instead.
Boozy or Not Boozy? The addition of raspberry liquor in the raspberry sauce is optional. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the liquor.
Fruity Twists: Feel free to experiment with different types of fruit in this recipe. Try using fresh blueberries, blackberries, or a combination of your favorites in place of the raspberries.
Dietary Restrictions: For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free cream cheese instead of mascarpone cheese.

Commonly Asked Questions

How long does Peach Melba Tiramisu last in the fridge?

Once set, your Peach Melba Tiramisu can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Can I freeze Peach Melba Tiramisu?

Technically, you can freeze Peach Melba Tiramisu, but the texture of the ladyfingers may be slightly affected upon thawing. It’s best enjoyed fresh for the optimal taste and texture.

While ladyfingers are the traditional choice for tiramisu, you could potentially substitute them with another type of cookie that can be easily dipped, such as biscotti or shortbread cookies. Be sure to adjust the dipping time to prevent the cookies from becoming soggy.

Egg-Free & Gluten-Free Options

This tiramisu can be made egg-free by simply omitting the egg yolks. The result will be a lighter and fluffier texture rather than the traditional rich, custard-like cream.
Note: If omitting the egg yolks, there’s no need to replace them with anything else—just continue with the remaining filling ingredients as written.

Gluten-Free Option: You can make this recipe with either regular or gluten-free ladyfingers. No other changes are needed—just swap based on your preference or dietary needs.

Substitutions + Alternatives

Can I use regular dairy?

Feel free to make this recipe your own. I use dairy-free milk, but feel welcome to choose your preferred dairy option without any recipe adjustments. Unless specified otherwise, you have the flexibility to use the milk of your choice for the recipe.

Note: While almond milk is an option, it is less preferred due to its liquid consistency. Consider opting for a milk alternative with a thicker texture.
