Ingredients
For your tea
1 large pinch of Saffron
3 Cardamom pods
1/4 tsp Rose water
For your tiramisu
3 tbsp Pistachio paste
1 tsp Vanilla extract
3 eggs
100g caster sugar
250g Mascarpone
200ml double cream
1 pack Sponge fingers
For your garnish
Chopped pistachios
Rose petals
Method
- First, make your saffron cardamom tea. Crush the cardamon pods till they split and you can see the seeds. Add the pods to a mug and pour over 200 ml of boiling water then leave to steep. When the water has cooled slightly add the saffron and leave to cool some more.
- In a medium-sized bowl add the caster sugar and egg yolks (you’ll use the whites later). Whip till thick and creamy and the mixture has doubled in size.
- Stir through the mascarpone till combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cream, pistachio paste and vanilla extract together until the mixture is thick (you know it’s the right consistency if there are ribbons coming from the whisk). Add this to the mascarpone mixture.
- Wipe out the bowl you just used for the cream, add the egg whites and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Add one-third of the egg whites to the mascarpone, mix quickly till completely combined then fold the remaining egg whites into the mascarpone. Top tip: Make sure not to knock out too much of the air to keep it fluffy.
- Line your dish with parchment (this helps when it comes to serving the tiramisu).
- Dip the sponge fingers one at a time into the saffron tea and create a layer in your dish. Pour one-third of the mascarpone cream mixture over the soaked sponge fingers then repeat two more times, finishing with the mascarpone cream.
- Place the dish in the fridge overnight to allow the tiramisu to set.
- Garnish with rose petals and finely chopped pistachios just before serving.
