Tiramisu whipped egg, or both, combined with mascarpone cream. This makes the dish lighter, thick and foamy. Among the most common alcoholic changes includes the addition of Marsala. The cake is usually eaten cold. Another variation involves the preparation of the cream with eggs heated to sterilize it, but not so much that the eggs scramble.

Ice cream sandwich wafers (usually chocolate-flavored), and normally rectangular in shape. This was originally created and patented by Jack Delaney, Tim Jones, John Defilippis and Sam West in 1963. Pictures from the Jersey Shore circa 1905 "On the beach, Atlantic City", show ice cream sandwiches were popular at 1¢ each. A Chipwich, where ice cream (usually vanilla) is sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies, is also popular. In Israel, ice cream sandwiches are commonly known as "Kasata" (קסטה in Hebrew). The name finds its origin in a variation of the Italian dessert Cassata, which consists of sponge cake and layers of ice cream.
