Gone. Instead, there's a sweet, homemade peach sauce—really refreshing. Seriously good. Every bite gives you that sunny flavor. This version skips raw eggs, swapping them with mascarpone and whipped cream for that rich, creamy texture everyone loves in tiramisu. And you know what? Vanilla adds an extra layer of fragrance that's hard to resist.
Savoiardi biscuits? They soak up all that juicy peach goodness perfectly. Then there's the topping—fresh peach slices, toasted nuts, and a touch of sage leaves—so so unique.

Across Veneto, there are all sorts of variations. Some use apricots or strawberries, but peach is way way better for that late-summer, juicy flavor. Sage leaves? They add this hint of herbal zest. Plus, nuts like almonds or pistachios give you a toasty finish. Without eggs, you get all the richness, none of the worry. The moist layers stay light and fluffy. And here's the deal: For anyone hunting for a peach dessert recipe that's both special and straightforward, this eggless tiramisu is it.

How to prepare Egg-free peach tiramisu
To prepare the egg-free peach tiramisu, first slice about 1 1/3 cups (200 g) of peaches into thin slices 1, transfer them to a bowl with about 1 1/2 tablespoons (20 g) of sugar 2 and let them macerate for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the peach sauce: cut about 2 cups (300 g) of peaches into cubes 3.
Pour the peach cubes into a small saucepan 4, then add the sugar 5 and the water 6.
Cook over medium heat for about 7-8 minutes 7. With the heat off, blend with an immersion blender 8 and set aside 9.
Now place the hazelnuts in a frying pan 10, turn on the heat and toast them over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until golden. Meanwhile, prepare the mascarpone cream: in a bowl add the mascarpone, the heavy cream 11 and the powdered sugar 12.
Add the seeds from the vanilla bean 13 and whip with electric beaters until firm 14. You're ready to assemble the tiramisu: take a 12x8-inch (30x20 cm) baking dish and spread a layer of the mascarpone cream on the base 15.
Soak the ladyfingers in the peach sauce 16, then arrange them on the bottom of the baking dish to form the first layer 17. Cover with the mascarpone cream 18.
Level the cream 19, then distribute almost all of the macerated peach slices 20. Create a second layer of ladyfingers soaked in the peach sauce 21.
Cover with the mascarpone cream 22 and smooth it. Garnish the surface with a few dots of peach sauce 23 and the remaining peach slices 34.
Finally, finish with the toasted hazelnuts 25 and a few sage leaves 26. Your egg-free peach tiramisu is ready to be served 27!
