Experience a refreshing twist on a classic dessert with this Earl Grey Tiramisu! Light layers of mascarpone cream and tea-soaked ladyfingers deliver an elegant flavor of bergamot and black tea—perfect for spring parties, afternoon tea, or any occasion that calls for a sophisticated treat.

Ingredients

1 cup strong brewed Earl Grey tea, cooled

24 ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)

1 cup mascarpone cheese

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon Earl Grey tea leaves (for flavor)

Edible flowers (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Brew the Earl Grey tea and let it cool to room temperature. Remove any tea bags or strain out loose leaves.

  • In a bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

  • In another bowl, mix mascarpone cheese with brewed Earl Grey tea and additional tea leaves until smooth.

  • Gently fold whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, keeping the texture light.

  • Quickly dip ladyfingers into the cooled Earl Grey tea—just 1–2 seconds to avoid sogginess.

  • Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers in a rectangular dish or individual cups.

  • Spoon half the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers and spread evenly.

  • Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  • Before serving, garnish with edible flowers and a sprinkle of Earl Grey tea leaves if desired.

Notes

Cocoa powder or grated white chocolate can be sprinkled on top for added richness.

Swap the tea: try chai, green tea, or lavender tea for different flavors.

For a citrus note, add orange zest to the mascarpone mixture.

Assemble in cups or glasses for elegant single servings.

Ladyfingers should be dipped briefly to prevent soggy layers.
