I don't usually do deserts but this one jumped out at me from November 08 Delicious. It comes from Simon Bryant from the ABC show The Cook and the Chef.
Ingredients:
3 separated eggs
75gms caster sugar
250gms mascapone
Pinch of cream of tartar
300mls thickened cream
1 tsp vanilla paste or essence
1tsp orange liqueur
12 savoiardi
500mls brewed green tea
1/3 cup green tea powder
chopped unsalted pistachios to dress
Method:
1) Whisk yolks and sugar over boiling water till thick and pale (5 mins)
2) Beat egg whites and cream of tartar till you get thick peaks
3) Whip the cream, vanilla, and liqueur
4) Now fold all three bowls into the cream mixing thoroughly
5) Dip the savoiardi briefly in the brewed green tea, and make a layer in a 1.5 ltr dish
6) Top with half the filling and dust with green tea powder
7) Now repeat the process and place in the fridge for at least 3 hours
8) Just before serving sprinkle with the crushed pistachios.
I would serve it with a nice vanilla ice cream.
This was delicious. The green tea powder gives the Tiramisu a lovely fresh taste. My only suggestion for improvement is that the top layer of green tea powder be dusted on with a tea strainer, so that it's even.
