Editor's April Pick #6: Your secret weapon - orange syrup

Editor's note: Once again, MiamMiam Cookery delivers with a two for one - a showcase of exactly how this dessert can look (Editor's note: Mine absolutely will not and that is okay.. I tell myself) and an additional recipe for a little something extra to add to the dessert. I am writing this having just eaten and I can honestly say I've never wanted a dessert more in my life!

Your secret weapon ...

... an optional extra – serve a syrup with your Tiramisu. The syrup can be made ahead and fridged. You can serve it in tiny jugs or add it to a portion before serving.

Here's the recipe :

Orange Syrup

200g icing sugar

9 fl oz/250ml orange juice (no bits)

Put the sugar and orange juice in a small saucepan and heat gently so that the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat and simmer on a low heat for 10 minutes.

Cool the syrup then box and fridge.

The syrup freezes well too.

Here's the finished product :

Just before I go, here's another trivial piece of information - Tiramisu means “pick me up” or “cheer me up” - you never know when trivia might come in handy!
