Instructions:
-
Prepare the Cream:
- Start by making the creamy base. In a bowl, combine the mascarpone, yogurt, and coffee at room temperature. Mix well using a whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
- Once the cream is ready, transfer it into a piping bag (without a tip) and place it in the freezer for a few minutes to firm up.
-
Make the Crumble:
- In a food processor, add the digestive biscuits, blanched almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, and the Chinese five-spice blend. Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse, crumbly texture.
- Set aside the crumble for later use.
-
Assemble the Tiramisu:
- Begin by placing a small amount of the cream mixture at the bottom of each serving glass.
- Briefly dip the ladyfingers (Savoiardi) into the coffee (about 250g) for just a few seconds, making sure they donโt become too soggy. Break them into 2-3 parts and layer them on top of the cream. You will need 2 ladyfingers per glass.
- Repeat the layering process, adding more cream and dipping more ladyfingers until the glasses are filled.
-
Finish with the Crumble:
- Top the tiramisu with a spoonful of the crumble mixture, adding a final crunchy texture to the dessert.
- For an extra touch of decadence, grate some chocolate directly from a block using a sharp knife and sprinkle the chocolate shavings over the top.
-
Chill and Serve:
- Place the assembled tiramisu in the fridge for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the delicate balance of coffee, cream, and spiced crumble.
This Tiramisu with 5 Spices is a unique twist on the classic Italian dessert. The combination of smooth mascarpone, creamy yogurt, and aromatic spices gives a delightful and surprising flavor, perfect for those looking to explore new variations of a beloved treat.
