Rasmalai Tiramisu Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened heavy whipping cream (chilled)
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese (softened)
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 and ½ cups rasmalai milk
- 2 cups chopped rasmalai
- 24-28 ladyfinger cookies (Savoiardi cookies) (the number of cookies will depend on whether you are using an 8×8″ or 9×9″ pan. See notes.)
- dried rose petals (as required)
- slivered nuts (as required, I used a mix of almonds, cashew nuts and pistachios)
Instructions
- Beat the whipping cream using an electric hand mixer until medium-stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Whisk the mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla until combined.
- Add the cheese mixture to the whipped cream and fold until combined using a silicon spatula. Then, use the electric hand mixer to mix until smooth.
- Lightly dip each ladyfinger into the rasmalai milk. Do not oversoak or the cookies will become soggy.
- Line an 8×8″ or 9×9″ square baking dish with a layer of cookies.
- Spread half of the cream mixture over the cookies. Top with ½ of the chopped rasmalai.
- Repeat another layer.
- Cover the tray with a cling wrap and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Garnish with slivered nuts and dried rose petals. Serve.
