This Earl Grey Tiramisu, affectionately dubbed TEAramisu, is a delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert. Infused with the aromatic flavors of loose leaf Earl Grey tea, it combines the creamy richness of mascarpone cheese with the light, crisp texture of savoiardi ladyfinger biscuits soaked in a subtly sweet tea infusion. Perfect for tea lovers seeking a refined, elegant dessert with a delicate citrus and bergamot aroma.

Ingredients

Cream Mixture

  • 250 g mascarpone
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 50 g sugar plus 2 tsp sugar, divided

Tea Soak

  • 2 tsp loose leaf Earl Grey tea
  • 160 ml water

Other

  • 100 g savoiardi ladyfinger biscuits

Instructions

  1. Prepare Earl Grey Tea Infusion: Heat 160 ml of water to just below boiling and steep 2 teaspoons of loose leaf Earl Grey tea for 5 minutes. Strain the tea leaves to create a fragrant tea infusion and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Separate Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks into two clean bowls, ensuring no yolk mixes into the whites.
  3. Make Mascarpone Cream: In the bowl with egg yolks, add 50 g of sugar and whisk vigorously until the mixture thickens and becomes pale. Gently fold in the 250 g mascarpone until smooth and creamy.
  4. Whip Egg Whites: Using a clean mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 2 teaspoons of sugar and continue whipping until stiff, glossy peaks develop.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture, being careful to preserve the airiness for a light and fluffy cream.
  6. Dip Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each savoiardi biscuit into the warm Earl Grey tea infusion, ensuring they absorb enough liquid without becoming soggy.
  7. Assemble Tiramisu: Arrange a single layer of dipped ladyfingers in your serving dish. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the biscuits. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining cream.
  8. Chill: Cover the dessert and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
  9. Serve: Dust with cocoa powder or finely grated dark chocolate if desired before serving to add a finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for the best texture and safety, especially since the recipe uses raw eggs.
  • Do not soak ladyfingers for too long in Earl Grey tea to avoid a soggy dessert.
  • For a stronger tea flavor, increase the steeping time slightly but avoid bitterness.
  • This recipe includes raw eggs; consume promptly and refrigerate.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, no additional alcoholic ingredients are used.
