🎃🍵 From the Tea Kitchen: Pumpkin Spice Tea Tiramisu
Tiramisu just got an autumn makeover.
Instead of coffee, we’re dipping delicate ladyfingers into a rich brew of SerendipiTea Pumpkin Spice Tea, then layering them with fluffy cinnamon-kissed mascarpone and finishing everything with a dusting of cocoa. The result? Creamy, spiced, decadent fall goodness in every spoonful. 🍂✨
In our Pumpkin Spice Tea: Rooibos, ginger, allspice, cinnamon, natural pumpkin flavoring, licorice root, nutmeg & calendula petals.
The secret is letting it rest overnight—the tea soaks into the ladyfingers while all those warm autumn flavors settle into the creamy layers. 🤎
Ingredients:
For the tea soak
- 2 cups water
- 4–5 teaspoons SerendipiTea’s Pumpkin Spice Tea
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the mascarpone filling
- 8 ounces mascarpone, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
Method:
- Brew the tea. Bring 2 cups of water to the appropriate brewing temperature and steep the Pumpkin Spice Tea strongly. Strain, then stir in the brown sugar and vanilla. Allow it to cool completely.
- Make the filling. Beat the mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to medium-stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until light and fluffy.
- Dip the ladyfingers. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled Pumpkin Spice Tea. Don't let them soak—they should absorb the tea without becoming soggy.
- Layer. Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers in an 8×8-inch dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the top. Repeat with another layer of tea-dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone.
- Chill. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Finish. Just before serving, dust generously with cocoa powder and a touch of cinnamon. Add dark chocolate shavings or candied pecans if desired.
