Description
Rose tiramisu is an Indian-inspired no-bake dessert that combines mascarpone and whipped cream with rose-flavored milk-soaked ladyfingers. It’s elegant, egg-free, and perfect for make-ahead entertaining.
Ingredients
- 3 to 4 tablespoons rose syrup
- 1 cup full-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon rose water or 1 drop rose essence
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese, very cold
- 1¼ cups heavy cream, very cold
- 10 tablespoons powdered sugar, divided
- 1 drop rose essence
- 1 to 2 drops pink or red gel food color (optional)
- 20 to 22 ladyfinger cookies
- Food-grade dried rose buds, for garnish
- Silvered pistachios, for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together rose syrup, milk, and rose water. Taste and adjust sweetness. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine mascarpone, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons cream, rose essence, and food coloring. Whip until smooth.
- In a chilled bowl, beat remaining heavy cream. Gradually add remaining powdered sugar and whip until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the mascarpone mixture into the whipped cream and beat lightly until stiff but spreadable peaks form.
- Dip each ladyfinger into rose milk for 1–2 seconds. Arrange a tight single layer in an 8×8-inch dish.
- Spread half the cream mixture over the ladyfingers evenly.
- Repeat with a second layer of dipped ladyfingers and top with the remaining cream.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Garnish with dried rose buds and pistachios before serving.
Notes
- Use culinary-grade rose syrup and essence for best flavor.
- Chill all cream components for best whipping results.
- Do not soak ladyfingers to avoid sogginess—dip quickly.
- Can be frozen once set, but best within 2 days for optimal texture.
