Description

This Rose Tiramisu is a luxurious and fragrant eggless dessert that combines the floral notes of rose syrup and rose water with creamy mascarpone and fluffy whipped cream. Ladyfinger cookies soaked in a rose-flavored milk mixture create soft layers, beautifully complemented by the crunch of silvered pistachios and the elegance of edible rose buds. Perfect for a special occasion or a romantic treat, this no-bake dessert is both visually stunning and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

Rose Milk Mixture

1 cup rose syrup (Opt for Rooh Afza for an authentic taste)
1 cup full fat milk (Using whole milk is key for the best flavor)
1 teaspoon rose water (A drop of rose essence can substitute if needed)

Mascarpone Mixture

1 cup mascarpone cheese (Ensure it’s very cold for easy whipping)
1/2 cup powdered sugar (Confectioners’ sugar works best)
A few drops rose essence (Use sparingly to avoid overpowering)

Whipped Cream

1 cup heavy cream (Chilling before use is essential)
1/4 cup powdered sugar (for whipping cream, estimated for sweetness)

Other Ingredients

1 pack ladyfinger cookies (These give structure)
As needed food grade rose buds (Enhance the visual appeal)
As needed silvered pistachios (Adds a crunchy texture)

Instructions

Prepare Rose Milk Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine rose syrup, full fat milk, and rose water. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and set aside for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Make Mascarpone Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the cold mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar and a few drops of rose essence. Beat the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, careful not to overmix.
Whip the Heavy Cream: In another chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream along with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. This adds a light, airy texture to the dessert.
Soak Ladyfingers: Quickly dip the ladyfinger cookies into the rose milk mixture, ensuring they absorb the liquid but do not become soggy, then arrange a single layer in an 8×8-inch dish to form the base.
Layer the Dessert: Spread half of the whipped mascarpone mixture evenly over the soaked ladyfingers. Repeat by dipping more ladyfingers in the rose milk, layering them, and topping with the remaining mascarpone mixture.
Chill: Cover the assembled tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from refrigerator, optionally pipe additional whipped cream on top, and garnish with food grade rose buds and silvered pistachios before serving to enhance both flavor and appearance.

Notes

Use whole milk for the richest flavor in the rose milk mixture.
Ensure mascarpone cheese is very cold to make whipping easier and to achieve the desired creamy texture.
Do not over-soak ladyfingers to prevent a soggy dessert.
Refrigerate the dessert adequately to allow proper setting and flavor infusion.
Adjust the amount of rose essence carefully to avoid overpowering the floral notes.
