i've found some, ranging from 2 egg yolks to 8 egg yolks.
really what's the difference?
haha but i'd prefer an eggless recipe, thanks!
A better question is what Tiramisu recipe HAVE raw eggs. The only eggs I can think is for the cake layers but you cook them and therefore kills the salmonella. It's very rare that eggs contain them anyways but you can also just buy pasturized eggs...

Felt in love with cupcakes first time I saw them on internet, and they were like totally unknow here in France. Now there is maybe ... two cupcakes shops and only in Paris =/
It's one of my secret dream to own a cupcake bakery ♥

i tried searching for the old thread again in soompi but failed~ i seriously forgot to save the name of the person who posted this..but i made this countless time and this is EGGLESS and VERY VERY simple to make~ hope it helps~ i never add the brandy though~
tiramisu :
9" Cake Pan Tiramisu
500g Mascarpone (or if you can't get your hand on it or too expensive, just use regular cream cheese)
200ml Heavy Whipping cream (If too dry, add a little more. DO NOT put too much or it'll be soft & soggy)
4tbsp. Brandy
1tbsp. Instant Coffee Powder
1/2 Cup Boiling Water
Sponge Fingers
1/2 Cup Sugar
Grated Chocolate
1. Blend together: Mascarpone, Whipping Cream & Brandy.
2. Mixture should be thick and not watery.
3. Mix: Coffee powder & Water.
4. Lay out the Sponge Fingers on the bottom of the cake pan until covered.
5. Sprinkle enough coffee on sponge fingers. (Don't make em soggy)
6. Fill pan with Marcarpone mixture a little less than half of the pan.
7. Repeat 4-6 until the pan is almost full.
8. Grate cheese over the top.
9. Place in freezer or fridge untill solid enough to eat
ps. It doesn't have to be done in a cake pan. Anything that can withstand cold is good enough =]

I read that Whole Foods may sell eggless lady fingers. You can basically use any eggless spongecake. You can even make your own eggless spongecake.
Here's a recipe and comments.

It should say on the carton what size the eggs are. (It sounds like you don't know what size they are xD) I think most people buy large though o_o And I'm pretty sure thats the usual for recipes that don't state what size.
If you use different egg sizes, like using extra large eggs rather than large, it will change the texture.
Here's an article: http://bakingbites.com/2008/09/large-eggs-...eggs-in-baking/
Dunno if I answered your question LOL :l

Just curious...how afraid of eggs are you? To the point you won't eat anything that contains eggs?
Eggs that have been pasteurize can't contain salmonella 'cause all of the bacteria has been killed.
When sometimes that also contains eggs and is cooked, all traces of the bacteria is also killed.
Besides you can get salmonella from other things besides eggs.
Actually, you can probably die and get a disease from almost everything you eat and touch.
Cute tops, cardigans, and more!

...I wasn't the one who asked that, I was just telling you that...I will assume she's very paranoid since there are NO TIRAMISU RECIPE WITH RAW EGGS!

i'm trying to make cupcakes for my friend who LOVES nutella. i want to poke a hole in the middle of the cupcake and put some nutella in there... as a little "surprise" type of thing haha... but i have no idea how i should frost the cupcake so that it won't be overly sweet with both the nutella in the cupcake and the frosting on the top of the cake. i want to frost the cupcake so that i could cover the ugly hole that the nutella in the center is going to make.
also, my friend doesn't think fruit and cakes should mix (lol i don't know why either) but that killed my idea because i was just going to top the cupcake with powdered sugar and strawberries.
does anyone have any ideas? thanks (:

i dont understand~ salmonella comes from RAW EGG~ so the egg in the lady fingers,so there shouldnt be any problem with the recipe i used now isnt it? unless she wants recipe which doesnt use eggs at all,then thats a different matter right?

if you want something that's not overly sweet, i would just whip some heavy whipping cream + small amount of sugar. it'll cover up the hole in the center but not be too sweet.

You could also make a ganache type of glaze, really minimal, and just pour it over the cupcake. about 1 part chocolate to 3 parts heavy cream, although more chocolate might take away from the nutella though...
I thought about using cream cheese type frosting...but i've never eaten cream cheese and nutella. do they taste good together?

The original person asked for a tiramisu recipe with no eggs because of salmonella. But there should not be any recipes where raw eggs are involved in tiramisu, my restaurant makes tiramisu and we do not use any raw eggs...it's just cake, cheese, and coffee. So I'm assuming she's worried about the eggs in the cake (or lady fingers). Which is weird but I'm not the one asking it.
