Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 20 to 22 ladyfinger cookies
- 8 ounces (226 grams) mascarpone cheese, very cold
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) full-fat milk
Liquid and Sweetening Ingredients:
- 3 to 4 tablespoons (45 to 60 milliliters) rose syrup (like Rooh Afza or equivalent)
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) rose water or 1 drop of rose essence
- 1 to 2 drops gel food color
- 10 tablespoons (75 grams) powdered sugar (confectioners sugar), very cold
Cream and Decorative Ingredients:
- 1 and ¼ cups (300 milliliters) heavy cream
- Food grade rose buds for decorating
- Silvered pistachios for decorating
Instructions
- Craft a delicate rose-infused milk blend by combining rose syrup, milk, and rose water in a medium bowl. Adjust sweetness with 1-of sugar to taste.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine cold mascarpone cheese (/ 226 grams), powdered sugar, heavy cream, rose essence, and a touch of red food coloring.
- Utilize a hand mixer to whip the mascarpone mixture for approximately 45 seconds, ensuring a silky-smooth consistency without any lumps.
- Transfer the remaining heavy cream to a large mixing bowl and whip for 30-45 seconds.
- Gradually incorporate powdered sugar, 1-at a time, continuing to whip until soft peaks emerge. Periodically scrape down the bowl’s sides for uniform texture.
- Gently fold the whipped mascarpone mixture into the cream, whipping until stiff peaks form. Maintain a spreadable firmness without overwhipping.
- If the mixture becomes warm during preparation, briefly chill in the refrigerator to maintain optimal consistency.
- Prepare an 8×8 inch (20×20 centimeters) dish for layering. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the rose milk mixture for 1-2 seconds, arranging them tightly in a single layer across the dish’s base.
- Evenly spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfinger layer using a spatula, ensuring complete coverage.
- Create a second layer by repeating the ladyfinger dipping and cream spreading process, using the remaining mascarpone cream.
- Optional: Reserve a small amount of whipped cream for potential decorative piping.
- Refrigerate the tiramisu for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight, allowing flavors to harmonize and meld beautifully.
- Prior to serving, embellish with delicate rose buds and slivered pistachios according to personal preference.
- When ready to serve, use a sharp knife to slice and carefully transfer portions using a flat spatula.
Notes
- Capture the essence of romance with this delicate rose-infused dessert that transforms traditional tiramisu into a dreamy, fragrant experience.
- Ensure mascarpone mixture stays cool by briefly chilling if it becomes too warm during preparation to maintain perfect texture.
- Layer ladyfingers quickly but carefully, giving each just a momentary dip to prevent soggy results and preserve their delicate structure.
- Whip cream and mascarpone with precision, watching for soft then stiff peaks that create luxurious, cloud-like consistency without overbeating.
- Refrigeration is crucial for developing deep, harmonious flavors, so allow at least six hours of patient resting time before serving.
- Elevate presentation with elegant garnishes like delicate rose buds and crunchy pistachios that complement the dessert’s subtle rose notes.
