Toasted Marshmallow Tiramisu

Forget everything you know about traditional Tiramisu. This version swaps the heavy custard for a dreamy, cloud-like marshmallow whip that’s as light as air and just the right amount of sweet.
Prep Time25 minutes
Refrigerate1 hour
Total Time1 hour 25 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Equipment

  • 1 butane kitchen torch
  • 1 hand mixer or commercial/stand mixer
  • 1 8x8 baking dish

Ingredients

Filling

  • 3 cups heavy cream yields 6 cups of whipped cream
  • 250 grams cream cheese room temperature
  • 3 213 gram containers marshmallow fluff reserve one container for the top
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • pinch of nutmeg

Cookie Layer

  • 24 lady fingers
  • 5 ounces strong espresso

Instructions

Filling

  • In a chilled bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, and nutmeg. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (usually 2–5 minutes). Set aside in the fridge.
  • Using your mixer, blend the cream cheese, 2 containers of marshmallow fluff, and the remaining 1 tsp of vanilla until smooth and well-combined.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the marshmallow mixture. Mix until the streaks disappear and the filling is light and airy.
  • Layer the dessert:
    Quickly dip cookies one by one into the espresso.
    Arrange half of the soaked cookies in a single layer in a 8x8 baking dish.
    Spread half of the creamy filling over the cookies.
    Add a second layer of espresso soaked lady fingers and top with the remaining cream mixture.
    Spread the final container of marshmallow fluff over the top.
    Sammy’s Tip: dip your spatula in cold water before spreading; this prevents the fluff from sticking and creates a smooth finish. Don't worry about it looking perfect either!
  • Use a kitchen butane torch on medium-high heat.
    Hold the flame about 1 inch from the top, moving in circular motions until the marshmallow is golden brown.
    Note: Fluff melts fast! Keep the torch moving to avoid a mess.
    See FAQ's above if you prefer to use your oven broiler.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cookies to soften.
