Chai Tiramisu

A cozy twist on the classic tiramisu, made with spiced chai tea instead of coffee, creating a unique layered dessert that’s rich in flavor and perfect for gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 1/2 cups of strong chai tea (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 tablespoon of honey (or more for sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 250g mascarpone cheese
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream (cold)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • Ladyfingers, about 20-24
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon (for dusting)
  • Pinch of ground cardamom (for dusting)
  • Extra chai spice or nutmeg (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brew strong chai tea and let it cool.
  2. Whip the heavy cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold in mascarpone and vanilla.
  3. Quickly dunk each ladyfinger in the cooled chai tea and layer them in a dish.
  4. Spread half of the creamy mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat layering with the remaining ladyfingers and cream.
  5. Dust the top with cinnamon and cardamom. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to brew strong chai for the best flavor and don’t soak ladyfingers for too long to avoid a soggy dessert.
