Frequently Asked Questions
What Can I Use Instead of Alcohol in Tiramisu?
The simple syrup does the same thing as alcohol, with very little flavor change. Though, the simple syrup has some flavored extracts which could be altered to change the taste.
Does Tiramisu Always Have Alcohol?
No, not always. Tiramisu is usually made with Marsala wine but there are many recipes that don't include that ingredient. Marsala wine adds a sweet flavor; much like the simple syrup.
Does the Alcohol in Tiramisu Burn Off?
No. As tiramisu is not cooked, if you add alcohol to this recipe, it will still be very much potent when you serve it. When cooking foods with alcohol, some of it is usually reduced by the heat - but this is not the case when it comes to tiramisu.
How Much Alcohol is There in Tiramisu?
The amount of alcohol varies in each recipe. Typically, simple tiramisu recipes like the one given here don't include any alcohol; rather they use the simple syrup that acts like wine. Meanwhile, tiramisu with alcohol added in layers tends to have a very small amount of alcohol.
Can You Drive After Eating Tiramisu?
It depends on how much you have eaten and how much alcohol was added to the tiramisu. If you hadn't drunk any alcoholic beverage and only ate simple tiramisu then you could safely drive. It's highly unlikely to contain enough alcohol to make you drunk.
