The savoiardi biscuit no bake dessert is a recipe passed on to me by my step mum, who frequently makes it for our gatherings. It is a spin off I’d say to the Italian tiramisu but with some key differences. The spongy biscuits combined with the crunchy nuts, cream and sweet fruit jam is a delightful mouthful. The perfect dessert to share with others, easy to do and very convenient as you can prepare ahead of time.

Macadamia nuts

I was lucky to have been gifted some macadamia nuts to use and put this savoiardi biscuit no bake dessert recipe together for you. As the leading producer of macadamias in the world, Australia contributes more than 30% of the global crop. Australia has exported around 70% of its macadamia crop for the last five years, with this figure climbing as high as 75% in 2020.

Research on macadamia nuts has shown that it helps reduce cholesterol and blood pressure when eaten regularly and they are antioxidant rich. It also makes for an incredibly delicious and creamy nut spread. For more information about macadamia nuts you may visit the Australian macadamias website to read more.

Savoiardi biscuits

Available at all supermarkets, international shops and even some delis the savoiardi biscuits are easily accessible. They are the type of biscuits used for the known Italian dessert, tiramisu. Often also used in trifles and in many desserts by soaking them in flavoured coffee milk and in some cases with added alcohol too. On their own they have a crunchy texture, which then melt in your mouth.

Fruit jam to use

The savoiardi biscuit no bake dessert is quite flexible in the type of fruit jam you can use. I use whatever I have available such as raspberry, strawberry or even orange jam. So, you can easily substitute that for the type of jam you prefer. You only need one layer of jam as the biscuits used are also sweet.
