Difficulty: Medium
Preparation time: 30 minutes (plus 3–4 hours chilling time)
Cooking time: None (uses pre-baked ladyfingers)
Serves: 6 portions

Ladyfingers laid out for a homemade dessert preparation in a cozy kitchen setting.

Ingredients:

  • 200g cricket-powered ladyfingers (see previous recipe)
  • 300g mascarpone cheese
  • 3 large eggs (separated)
  • 90g granulated sugar
  • 200ml strong coffee (cooled)
  • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions:

  1. Brew the coffee and let it cool. Add the coffee liqueur if using.
  2. Separate the eggs: Place yolks in one bowl, whites in another.
  3. Whisk the egg yolks with half the sugar (45g) until pale and creamy.
  4. Add the mascarpone to the yolk mixture and blend until smooth and silky.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with the remaining sugar (45g) until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture, keeping the texture light and airy.
  7. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture (don’t soak too long – they should stay slightly firm).
  8. Layer: Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in a serving dish. Cover with half the mascarpone cream. Repeat with another layer of soaked biscuits and finish with the remaining cream.
  9. Chill the tiramisu for at least 3–4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  10. Before serving, dust generously with cocoa powder.

Why Use Cricket Flour?

Cricket flour is an excellent source of sustainable protein, making it a smart and eco-friendly choice for modern recipes. Packed with essential nutrients like vitamin B12, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids, it supports muscle growth, boosts energy, and contributes to overall well-being. Unlike traditional protein sources, cricket flour has a minimal environmental impact, requiring less land, water, and feed. Its mild, nutty flavor blends seamlessly into baked goods, snacks, and even savory dishes, adding a nutritional boost without altering taste. Whether you’re an athlete, a health enthusiast, or simply curious, cricket flour is a versatile and forward-thinking ingredient worth exploring.

Back in the 1990s, the idea of eating insects in Europe was more of a joke than a serious proposal. Crickets were associated with faraway countries, not dinner plates in Paris or Berlin. But over the past three decades, attitudes have started to shift.

Driven by environmental concerns and the search for sustainable protein sources, crickets are slowly entering the European food scene. Unlike traditional livestock, they require less water, space, and feed, and they emit far fewer greenhouse gases. That makes them attractive to a generation more conscious of their ecological footprint.
