Berry Tiramisu

Berry Tiramisu

Here is a twist on a classical dessert that highlights another flavour combo that we loved at home. This tiramisu uses a berry flavour instead of the traditional coffee and cocoa. The lady fingers dipped in orange juice gives it a unique flavor and I have used a cream mix instead of mascarpone cheese. Lets look into how we can get it done.

Ingredients

Serves: 6-7 

For the cream layer

• Thick Cream: 150 gms
• Whipping cream: 50 Gms
• Powdered Sugar: 5-6 Tbsp ( Can adjust to taste)

For the biscuit layer

• Lady finger biscuits: 1 pack
• Orange juice to dip the biscuits

For the Berry jam layer

• Any berries of choice; 300 Gms ( fresh or Frozen)
• Sugar: 100 - 120 Gms

Method

1. Prepare the berry jam by heating the strawberries and the sugar until the sugar melts completely. Allow to cool and refrigerate until ready to be used
2. Whip the cream until soft peaks are formed and then add the thick cream and sugar and give a good mix with a spatula
3. Take an appropriate dish to arrange the dessert which is about 4 inch of height and form the bottom most layer with the lady finger biscuits after dipping them in fresh orange juice. 

On top of this layer spread the cream layer and then the berry jam. 

Keep repeating until all the cream and jam is used up. Keep in mind that the top most layer should be the cream.

Dust a teaspoon of cocoa powder through a sieve on top of the cream layer to give that finishing touch.

Allow to set in fridge for 5-6 hours.
Slice and enjoy

Note: You can also set this desserts in individual ramekins or pudding bowls and serve as a whole or set it in one big dish and slice according to need.

I used strawberries and blueberries for this recipe but you can choose any berry of your liking.
