Rose Tiramisu Recipe

Introduction

Rose Tiramisu is a delicate twist on the classic Italian dessert, infused with floral notes and a subtle sweetness. Combining rose syrup and mascarpone cream, this elegant treat is perfect for special occasions or a fragrant indulgence at home.

Ingredients

• 1 cup rose syrup (Opt for Rooh Afza for an authentic taste)
• 1 cup full fat milk (Using whole milk is key for the best flavor)
• 1 teaspoon rose water (A drop of rose essence can substitute if needed)
• 1 cup mascarpone cheese (Ensure it’s very cold for easy whipping)
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (Confectioners’ sugar works best)
• A few drops rose essence (Use sparingly to avoid overpowering)
• 1 cup heavy cream (Chilling before use is essential)
• 1 pack ladyfinger cookies (These give structure)
• Food grade rose buds (as needed to enhance the visual appeal)
• Silvered pistachios (as needed to add a crunchy texture)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine rose syrup, full fat milk, and rose water. Whisk until smooth and set aside for 5 minutes.
2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and rose essence. Beat until smooth and creamy.
3. Step 3: In another bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
4. Step 4: Dip ladyfinger cookies briefly in the rose milk mixture and arrange them in a single layer in an 8×8-inch dish.
5. Step 5: Spread half of the whipped mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then repeat the layering with dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone cream.
6. Step 6: Cover and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
7. Step 7: Remove from the fridge, pipe whipped cream on top if desired, and garnish with rose buds and silvered pistachios before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Chill your mascarpone and heavy cream well before whipping for better texture.
• If you prefer a stronger rose flavor, add an extra drop of rose essence, but be cautious as it can overpower.
• Substitute ladyfingers with sponge cake slices for a softer texture.
• Use edible rose petals for garnish to enhance both aroma and appearance.

Storage

Store the rose tiramisu covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors deepen over time, making it even better the next day. Reheat is not recommended—serve chilled for the best experience.

FAQs

Can I use a different milk instead of whole milk?

Whole milk is best for rich flavor and creaminess, but you can use 2% milk as a substitute. Avoid skim milk as it may affect the texture.

Is there a vegan alternative for mascarpone in this recipe?

Yes, you can try using plant-based cream cheese or coconut cream blended until smooth, though the texture and flavor will differ slightly from traditional mascarpone.

Rose Milk Mixture

• 1 cup rose syrup (Opt for Rooh Afza for an authentic taste)
• 1 cup full fat milk (Using whole milk is key for the best flavor)
• 1 teaspoon rose water (A drop of rose essence can substitute if needed)

Mascarpone Mixture

• 1 cup mascarpone cheese (Ensure it’s very cold for easy whipping)
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (Confectioners’ sugar works best)
• A few drops rose essence (Use sparingly to avoid overpowering)

Whipped Cream

• 1 cup heavy cream (Chilling before use is essential)
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for whipping cream)

Other Ingredients

• 1 pack ladyfinger cookies (These give structure)
• Food grade rose buds (as needed, to enhance visual appeal)
• Silvered pistachios (as needed, adds a crunchy texture)

Instructions

1. Prepare Rose Milk Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup rose syrup, 1 cup full fat milk, and 1 teaspoon rose water. Whisk thoroughly until smooth, then set aside for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
2. Make Mascarpone Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup cold mascarpone cheese with 1/2 cup powdered sugar and a few drops of rose essence. Beat the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring a luscious texture.
3. Whip Heavy Cream: In another bowl, whip 1 cup chilled heavy cream with 1/4 cup powdered sugar until soft peaks form. This will add lightness to your tiramisu layers.
4. Dip Ladyfingers: Briefly dip ladyfinger cookies into the rose milk mixture, making sure they soak but do not become soggy. Arrange a single layer of these soaked ladyfingers in an 8×8-inch dish to form the base.
5. Layer Mascarpone Mixture: Spread half of the whipped mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers, distributing it carefully for a smooth layer.
6. Repeat Layers: Dip the remaining ladyfingers in the rose milk and arrange another layer on top of the mascarpone. Then spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over this second layer.
7. Chill the Dessert: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the flavors to develop and the dessert to set properly.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from fridge and optionally pipe some whipped cream on top. Garnish with food grade rose buds and silvered pistachios to add an appealing texture and decorative finish before serving.

Notes

• Ensure mascarpone cheese is very cold to facilitate smooth mixing and prevent curdling.
• Dip ladyfingers quickly to prevent them from becoming overly soggy which can cause the dessert to be too wet.
• For authentic flavor, use rose syrup like Rooh Afza and natural rose water.
• This dessert benefits from overnight refrigeration for enhanced flavor melding.
• If rose essence is not available, use a drop or two sparingly as it is potent.
• The dessert is best served chilled and within two days for freshness.
