Being a dessert lover, I have always wanted to make my own dessert. However, I have come to terms with the fact that I am not very talented in that area.
Therefore this recipe is for the 'Dummies' out there, a quick 15 minutes prep and you are ready to indulge yourself.
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons of orange juice, preferably from fresh orange
4 savoiardi biscuits sponge fingers
1 egg (separated)
1 tablespoon sugar
150gr cream cheese
50ml pure cream
1 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon green tea powder
1 teaspoon green tea powder to serve
Directions:
Place 1 tablespoon green tea powder into shallow flat bowl and pour boiling water, stir well and let it cool down.
Mix the cream cheese and pure cream until soft. This is an alternative option, most tiramisu recipes use mascarpone cheese. Therefore, if you are able to get hold of mascarpone cheese you can skip this step.
Separate egg yolk and white. In a mixing bowl, beat egg yolk and sugar until creamy quite white, then whip in the cream cheese mix(or mascarpone) and mix gently.
In a second mixing bowl, beat egg white until stiff and fluffy.
Gently fold beaten cream cheese(mascarpone) mix with egg white and orange juice just to blend.
Cut the savoiardi into smaller pieces to fit into the wine glass. Skip this step if you are using a normal flat pan.
Dip each savoiardi in the bowl with green tea. To get the right amount of green tea on the savoiardi, pull it out before they become too soft.
Arrange a layer of dipped savoiardi across the bottom of the glass. Then spoon a layer of egg/cream cheese(mascarpone) across the layer of savoiardi.
Dip another layer of savoiardi and lay them on the cream cheese(mascarpone) mix. Put the remaining cream cheese(mascarpone) mix on it.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving, preferably overnight.
Once you are ready to serve, dust top with green tea powder.
Enjoy!
