Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup condensed milk
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup ladyfinger cookies
- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
- Chopped pistachios for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of condensed milk. Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture on medium speed until it thickens and soft peaks form, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup of milk with 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom powder. Stir well to combine.
- Dip each ladyfinger cookie into the milk and cardamom mixture briefly, ensuring they are soaked but not overly soggy.
- In a serving dish or individual glasses, layer the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom. Make sure to cover the base evenly.
- Spread half of the whipped cream and condensed milk mixture over the layer of ladyfingers, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Repeat the process by adding another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top of the cream mixture.
- Top with the remaining whipped cream mixture, spreading it evenly to cover the ladyfingers completely.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
- Before serving, garnish the kulfi tiramisu with chopped pistachios for an added crunch and flavor.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your delightful Indian-inspired kulfi tiramisu!
Tips
- Ensure your heavy cream is cold before whipping for the best volume and texture.
- Don't oversoak the ladyfingers - a quick dip is all you need to prevent a soggy dessert.
- Use freshly brewed, strong coffee for the most authentic flavor profile.
- For an extra luxurious touch, toast the pistachios before garnishing to enhance their nutty flavor.
- Let the dessert rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld perfectly.
- For a more intense cardamom flavor, you can slightly increase the powder to 1/2 teaspoon.
- Use a clear glass serving dish to showcase the beautiful layers of your kulfi tiramisu.
- For a non-alcoholic version, stick to strong coffee; for an adult twist, you could add a splash of coffee liqueur.
