Pan di Stelle tiramisu—really fun twist on a classic! This Italian treat from Veneto gets a playful update. You know, it's a little different. Instead of ladyfingers, this tiramisu recipe uses Pan di Stelle cookies—those beloved chocolate stars. Pretty neat, right? They’re soaked in a mix of milk and cocoa. Makes them super moist and kind of tender. So, each bite is like a cookie-cake combo.

Oh, and the mascarpone cream? Yeah, it stays. It is that super creamy and rich layer you crave in an Italian dessert. Plus, it's served in cute individual portions—so easy for everyone. Honestly, kids, adults, any sweet lover will love this. Also, it's a no-bake dessert. No oven hassle. And look, that's a win for everyone.

In Italy, there's always this fun debate: traditional methods or creative twists? This tiramisu with chocolate cookies sits perfectly in the middle. It keeps that genuine Italian vibe but adds fun. Making it at home means you get all those familiar flavors. Think tangy mascarpone and sweet cocoa, with extra chocolatey punch from the Pan di Stelle cookies.

Some folks in Veneto—great people—say it’s perfect for birthdays or parties. Single servings are less messy, you know? Feel special too. Compared to regular tiramisu, this easy tiramisu recipe skips the coffee. Kids or anyone who’s not into coffee will find it appealing. Italians are all about new spins on classics. This version shows you can stay true to tradition and still have some fun. For sure.

Everyone agrees, it’s a homemade tiramisu that brings that creamy, soft, and chocolatey magic to the table—with a really really good Italian flair. Seriously, can't go wrong.

Preparation

How to prepare Tiramisu with Pan di Stelle® cookies

To prepare the tiramisù with Pan di Stelle® cookies, start by separating the egg yolks from the whites 1. Beat the whites with the mixer 2 until you get firm peaks 3.

Then do the same with the yolks, add the sugar 4 and beat with the mixer 5 for at least 5 minutes to obtain a light foam 6.

At this point, combine the beaten yolks and sugar with the mascarpone placed in a large bowl 7, mix to obtain a smooth cream 8, and do the same with the whipped egg whites 9.

Be sure to incorporate them gently with a spatula, making gentle movements from bottom to top 10. Prepare the cookie dip by pouring the cocoa powder and sugar into a bowl 11. Stir and add the milk 12.

Keep stirring to prevent lumps 13. Transfer the cream to a piping bag without a nozzle and pour some into the bottom of 4 glasses 14. Quickly dip the cookies, two for each glass, and place them on the cream 15.

Add some more mascarpone cream 16 and then again 2 dipped cookies per glass 17. Cover with the remaining cream 18.

Finally, sprinkle with a little cocoa powder 19. To decorate, you can use an undipped cookie, placed vertically in each glass 20: here are your tiramisù glasses with Pan di Stelle® cookies ready. They can be left to rest in the fridge for about half an hour before enjoying them 21!
