- Step 4: Dip ladyfinger cookies in the rose milk mixture and arrange them in a single layer in an 8×8-inch dish.
- Step 5: Spread half of the whipped mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then repeat the layer with dipped ladyfingers and remaining mascarpone.

Tips & Variations
- Use chilled mascarpone and heavy cream to make whipping easier and achieve better texture.
- Adjust the amount of rose essence carefully to avoid overpowering the delicate rose flavor.
- For a nut-free version, omit the pistachios and decorate with edible rose petals instead.
- Rooh Afza syrup gives the most authentic rose flavor but feel free to try other rose syrups if unavailable.
Storage
Store the tiramisu covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it chilled to maintain the creamy texture. Before serving, you can refresh the topping with a bit of freshly whipped cream if needed.

FAQs
Can I use regular vanilla extract instead of rose essence?
While vanilla extract will change the flavor profile, you can substitute it in a pinch. The dessert will lose its signature rose aroma, so it’s best to use rose essence or rose water if possible.
Is it necessary to use mascarpone cheese?
Mascarpone is key to creating the rich, creamy texture typical of tiramisu. If unavailable, you can try substituting with a mixture of cream cheese and heavy cream, but the flavor and texture may differ slightly.
