What do you need for lotus tiramisu ?

What are the ingredients of this tiramisu?

– Mascarpone: Often asked about substitutes, but mascarpone provides the authentic, rich taste crucial for this dessert. If unavailable, alternatives exist, but the unique flavor may be compromised.

– Eggs: Bring eggs to room temperature before use for easier blending with other ingredients.

– Powdered Sugar: Use white powdered sugar for a creamy tiramisu with a beautiful yellow hue. Avoid granulated sugar, as it won’t dissolve easily, and avoid icing sugar.

– Speculoos (Biscoff): These caramelized biscuits are widely available, also known as Biscoff Lotus in England.

– Strong Coffee: Use very strong coffee to balance the sweetness of the Speculoos biscuits. If the dessert is too sweet, the delicious balance will be lost.

– Cocoa Powder: Used for final decoration. Bitter cocoa powder enhances the flavors perfectly.

how to make this lotus biscoff tiramisu ?

1- Separate the Eggs:

• Separate yolks and whites.
• Place yolks in a large bowl and whites in a smaller one for whipping later.

2- Whisk Yolks and Sugar:

• Whisk yolks with sugar until pale and smooth, ensuring sugar crystals dissolve completely.
• Proper whisking prevents sugar from absorbing egg white moisture, which can ruin the cream’s texture.

3- Loosen Mascarpone:

• Lightly whisk mascarpone to soften it.
• Mix it into the yolk-sugar mixture until fully combined.

4- Whip Egg Whites:

• Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.

5- Incorporate Egg Whites:

• Fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture in three batches using a spatula.
• Gently fold without overmixing to keep the mixture airy and firm.

6-Dip Biscuits in Coffee:

• Quickly dip Speculoos biscuits in strong coffee.
• Line the bottom of a dish or individual glasses with the soaked biscuits.

7- Layer the Dessert:

• Add a layer of mascarpone mixture over the biscuits.
• Repeat the process: a layer of biscuits, followed by mascarpone cream.
• Repeat once more for three layers total.

8- Chill the Tiramisu: Refrigerate for at least 8 hours for the best texture and flavor.

9- Final Touch: Before serving, dust the top generously with bitter cocoa powder.
