After an appetiser and a main that were relatively healthy it would
be boring not to indulge when it came to pud!
The
Orange Tiramisu first appeared in GOM: Chapter 16
“The Dinner Party ….”
it was well received on that occasion – it is easy to make, can be
made ahead, covered and fridged. For the purists – not everyone
likes coffee – so a variation on a theme.
Orange
Tiramisu
Grated
rind and juice of 2 oranges
20fl
oz whipping cream
4tbls
Cointreau (optional)
20
sponge fingers or Madeira cake
4tbls
caster sugar
8oz
Mascarpone or curd cheese (Philadelphia)
2oz
plain chocolate (grated)
Mix
the orange rind and juice with the Cointreau.
Mix
the cream carefully with the sugar and mascarpone.
Cut up
the cake in shapes that suit the bowl you are using and dip into the
orange mixture.
Grate
the chocolate
Layer
the mascarpone mixture with the sponge and sprinkle with chocolate.
I'm stating the obvious that you'd omit the Cointreau if serving to
kids.
A couple of variations – decorate with small amaretti biscuits.
You don't have to use plain chocolate to decorate – crushed flake
works well for the milk chocolate lovers or you could combine the two
as illustrated below :
Finally a thank you to my husband who made the template for me so
that I'd get straight lines of chocolate for the decoration – left
to my own devices it would not have been a pretty sight!
Here's the serving bowl
– diameter 20 cms and with the template over the top. The Tiramisu
will serve six generous portions.
