There was a time when I thought baking desserts without eggs was impossible and not worth a try. As time passed, reader requests on Instagram pressurised me to attempt baking without eggs, and I gave up pretty soon. Come the pandemic and I was back to endless experimenting since eggs were in short supply, and honestly, I’ve never looked back!

My baking from then on turned completely eggless and I have never been more satisfied and more motivated to bake. I absolutely love baking without eggs and must admit that I never did care for the taste of eggs in my baking or desserts. I just baked with eggs because that was all I knew!

And now look at me, I only bake without eggs and I’m absolutely loving it. It’s not that I am a vegetarian because I enjoy cooking curries like a chicken korma or a lamb stew. It’s just eggs that I never liked the taste of, the slight egginess they give to desserts. Just a personal choice I guess but it gave me something to do, something really fun and colourful, definitely delicious too!

  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch salt
  • 60 g buttermilk/chaach
  • 130 g all purpose flour {plain flour}

Coffee syrup

  • 50 ml strong coffee
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

    Instructions
     

    Lady fingers {see blogpost for detailed recipe}

    • Fit a piping bag with large 1A round piping nozzle.
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt until smooth.
    • Whisk in the buttermilk a tablespoon at a time. The mixture might look slightly curdled.
    • Add all the flour together and stir with a spatula to get a smooth pasty dough. We’re looking for a firm churro like dough that holds shape when piped out.
    • Transfer the dough to the piping bag and pipe out 3″ fingers.
    • Dip your fingertip into water and shape the piped out fingers around the tops and bottoms to get even shapes.
    • Sift over castor sugar and place the baking sheet in the freezer while you preheat the oven.
    • Preheat the oven to 170C for 20 minutes.
    • Bake the fingers for 17-18 minutes until light golden brown and firm to touch. Cool completely on a cooling rack.

    Coffee syrup

    • Stir the sugar into hot coffee. Cool. Stir in the Kahlua if using.

    Cream

    • Whip the cream and sugar at high speed until lightly whipped.
    • If using mascarpone, whip until smooth, then mix into cream until just mixed in.
    • If using cream cheese, whip the cream cheese until smooth, then whip it into the cream to desired consistency.

    Assemble

    • Line the base of your dessert box with lady fingers. Moisten generously with the coffee syrup.
    • Pipe over the cream, top with more lady fingers and repeat.
    • Refrigerate for about an hour or two.
    • Sift over with cocoa powder.
