Also asked as: “Does tiramisu contain alcohol?”
What to check
- Alcohol: Marsala, rum, brandy or liqueur in the cream or soaking liquid.
- Gelatine: some shop-bought versions use it to set the cream — see gelatine.
- Mascarpone: made with acid, so usually fine.
Shop desserts must list alcohol in the ingredients.
