Description
This Raspberry London Fog Tiramisu layers Earl Grey and lavender-infused ladyfingers with a silky raspberry mascarpone cream for a floral, fruity twist on the classic dessert. It is an elegant no-bake treat that is both comforting and impressive.
Ingredients
2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Earl Grey tea leaves (about 4 tea bags)
1½ tablespoons culinary lavender
28 ladyfingers
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons freeze-dried raspberry powder
8 ounces mascarpone, chilled
Fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Heat the whole milk with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar until steaming, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the Earl Grey tea leaves and culinary lavender. Steep for 10 to 15 minutes, then strain and allow the liquid to cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a large bowl, beat the remaining ¼ cup of granulated sugar with the egg yolks for about 5 minutes until pale, thick, and creamy.
- Sift in the freeze-dried raspberry powder, add the chilled mascarpone, and beat gently until smooth and fully combined.
- Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture and mix briefly until smooth, avoiding overmixing.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the infused milk for about 2 seconds and arrange in a single layer in an 8x8-inch dish.
- Spread half of the raspberry mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers and lightly dust with additional raspberry powder.
- Repeat with a second layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture. Dust the top with raspberry powder.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
- Spoon into dessert glasses and garnish with fresh raspberries before serving.
Notes
Swap raspberry powder with crushed freeze-dried strawberries for a sweeter berry flavor.
Steep the Earl Grey longer for a stronger tea taste, or omit lavender for a more classic flavor.
Add finely grated lemon zest to the mascarpone mixture for a light citrus note.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not reheat.
Dip ladyfingers quickly to prevent sogginess.
