    This amazing orange tiramisu is a fruitier, tangier version of the famous Italian dessert. It's an easy-to-make orange mascarpone dessert that everybody will love.

    Orange Tiramisu

    Sunshine on a plate! This tiramisu with oranges and mascarpone is one of the best desserts I have ever made.

    Tiramisu is my favorite dessert. It is the only dessert (except ice cream) I have ever ordered in a restaurant (repeatedly) and the only dessert I make regularly, at least once every 3 or 4 months, and that's a lot!

    And, of course, there are all the versions of a tiramisu I make often as well. This orange tiramisu is perfect in winter, the strawberry tiramisu in spring, or the apple tiramisu in autumn. No summer tiramisu, I see... I have to find one for the summer as well...

    Or I will just make this wonderful tiramisu cake again... I can't get enough of it lately... Or the Tiramisu Cups.

    • Orange Tiramisu

    Why you will love the orange tiramisu?

    It's light, fresh, and very flavorful. The mascarpone orange dessert is incredibly creamy, just like a tiramisu should be.

    You will also love those soaked and super sweet ladyfingers bedded in the mascarpone, yogurt, and cream mixture, and, most of all, you will love those sweet and tangy orange slices and the orange sauce on top of the dessert.

    And you will not need raw eggs, which I know many people will be happy to hear about.

    Recipe ingredients

    Oranges: Choose juicy, larger oranges. You will need to remove the white pit, and if the oranges are larger, you will be able to do that just a little bit quicker.

    Dairy: Mascarpone is the classic ingredient used for tiramisu. For this type of fruity tiramisu, you will also need cream cheese, yogurt, and heavy cream.

    Ladyfingers

    See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    How to make orange tiramisu?

    The orange tiramisu has to be made well in advance, as it will need time to rest and set in the fridge. I always make it the day before I want to serve it and keep it in the fridge until the next day.

    Separate the orange segments

    how to cut orange segments
    • This is the only part of the recipe that will take some time and dedication.
    • Top and tail the oranges and peel them with a knife, removing all the white pith.
    • Using a small, sharp knife cut in between the orange segments to separate them from the orange skins.
    • Do this over a bowl and make sure to collect all the running juices.
    • When finished, press all the skin rests to collect as much juice as possible. You will need about 150 ml/ 10 tablespoons to make the orange syrup.
    • Weigh and puree about 200 g/7 oz of the orange segments, you will need them for the upper layer of the tiramisu.
    • Keep the remaining whole orange segments for layering the tiramisu.
    how to cut orange segments

    Syrup for soaking the ladyfingers

    • Place the 10 tablespoons of collected orange juice in a small pan.
    • Add the sugar and the lemon juice and bring to a boil, stirring often to dissolve the sugar.
    • Immediately, remove from the heat, the syrup should be thin and not thicken.

    Dairy

    • Mix the mascarpone, yogurt, and sugar. Beat the heavy/double cream until stiff and fold it into the mixture.

    Layer the orange tiramisu

    • You will need a casserole dish of about 30 x 20 cm/ 12 x 7 inches; a little more or less is fine.
    • Spread about half of the mascarpone-yogurt mixture into the dish.
    • Arrange the ladyfingers on top.
    • Pour some of the syrup on them (using a tablespoon) until they are slightly soaked. You might not need to add all the syrup.
    • Reserve the remaining syrup to make the top orange layer.
    • Arrange the leftover orange segments (those you haven't pureed) on top of the ladyfingers and cover everything with the rest of the mascarpone mixture.
    • Cover the dish with plastic foil and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
    • Only top with the orange sauce just before serving.

    Orange topping

    • Mix the pureed orange segments with the leftover orange syrup.

      You can also dip the lady fingers in a orange liquor with milk, won't curdle as there is no citrus. Also you can buy the mandarins in a can with the syrup and c use c that instead and add bottled orange juice (non-concentrate).

      i love coffee, but i'm not crazy about coffee-flavored desserts! i've always enjoyed the texture of tiramisu, though, and this is a great way to get that, but without the bitterness of coffee spoiling everything! bravo!

      This really does look like sunshine on a plate! What a fun and cheery variation on tiramisu, not to mention perfect for people who aren't really big on coffee flavor (I've got a few of those in my family).

      The traditional tiramisu is perfect just the way it is, but I'm also loving this citrusy, lighter, and less sweet option. It looks luscious!
