Description
Earl Grey Tea Tiramisu is a fragrant and creamy twist on the classic Italian dessert, layered with Earl Grey tea-soaked ladyfingers and a rich mascarpone cream, dusted with cocoa and optional dark chocolate shavings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups strong brewed Earl Grey tea, cooled
- 1 package (8 ounces) ladyfingers
- Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
- Dark chocolate shavings for garnishing (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare 2 cups of strong Earl Grey tea by steeping 4–5 tea bags in hot water for 5–10 minutes. Remove tea bags and allow to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes). Fold in mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form (about 4–6 minutes), then gently fold into the mascarpone mixture.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled Earl Grey tea and place in the bottom of a serving dish to form a layer.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the soaked ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and remaining cream mixture.
- Dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder and optionally garnish with dark chocolate shavings.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set and flavors to meld.
Notes
- Use gluten-free ladyfingers for a gluten-free version.
- Dairy-free options include coconut cream and dairy-free mascarpone alternatives.
- Do not oversoak the ladyfingers to avoid sogginess.
- Chilling overnight provides the best flavor and texture.
