Nearly everyone enjoys a sweet confection as their final course after a delicious dinner. After the satisfaction of a savory entree, most of us enjoy capping off a quality meal with a little something sweet. Our Masala Chai Tiramisu is an indulgent grand finale worth sharing with friends and family. Tiramisu has many variations. From chocolate, amaretto, and pumpkin to the fruity decadence of strawberry, raspberry, and lemon, this luscious layered dessert offers an unlimited array of options. To add to the list of must-try recipes, we offer Masala Chai Tiramisu. What’s more, you may think tiramisu to be rather complicated and time-intensive to make. This impressive effort is surprisingly simple to prepare but looks - and tastes - like a work of art.
Begin by delicately dipping (not soaking!) half a package of purchased ladyfingers in a bowl containing two cups of our classic Masala Chai Concentrate. Then arrange the dipped ladyfingers in a square baking dish to line the bottom. Cover them with a specially sweetened mascarpone and whipped cream mixture and repeat the process with the remaining ladyfingers, forming another layer. This last layer of ladyfingers is then topped with the remaining whipped cream mixture. Simple!
The addition of our Masala Chai Concentrate elevates a traditional tiramisu to a new level of lusciousness. Crafted with filtered water, Firepot Chai Spice Blend (an all-organic array of cinnamon, cardamom, coriander, ginger, black pepper and cloves), organic cane sugar and organic black tea from India, lemon juice and just a pinch of sea salt, our Masala Chai Concentrate can imbue a tiramisu with a restrained and exotic uplift.
After at least four hours (or even overnight) of refrigeration, dust your Chai Tiramisu with cocoa powder and cinnamon, for an applause-worthy after-dinner finale. Your guests will all say, “More please!” to an extra helping after sampling our version.
