Using Amarula Vanilla Spice with flavours of vanilla and ginger, this tiramisu is the perfect creamy dessert for the festive season.

Amarula Tiramisu

When Amarula approached me to be a part of their new campaign I was delighted. Amarula is a South African classic. The perfect cream liqueur and they now have a Vanilla Spice variation. Subtly infused with vanilla and ginger, this is the perfect addition to your bar cart for Christmas. I was challenged to use this new flavour in a dessert and decided to make classic Tiramisu. With a South African twist.

The Amarula Vanilla Spice was used both in the cream and in the coffee soak for the lady fingers. I can say with total honesty that this is a showstopper. It’s the perfect dessert for the festive season as it can be made the day before (in fact, it’s even better the next day) and will be a hit with everyone you serve it to.

Freezing and making ahead

I wouldn’t suggest freezing this Amarula tiramisu as the cream layer will change texture once thawed. Tiramisu is a great make-ahead dessert and can be fully assembled 1-2 days in advance. Keep loosely covered with foil in the fridge until ready to serve.

What can be used instead of lady fingers?

Traditionally, Lady finger cookies/biscuits are used but you could substitute with vanilla cake sliced into fingers or even ginger cookies to add even more Christmas flavour.

Ingredients

For the Amarula cream

  • 4 extra-large egg yolks
  • ½ cup caster sugar
  • 500 g (1lb) cold mascarpone
  • 1/3 cup Amarula Vanilla Spice

For the cookie layer

  • ¾ cup strong coffee cooled
  • ¼ cup Amarula Vanilla Spice
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Whip the egg yolks and sugar until white and voluminous.
  • Add the cold mascarpone and Amarula and whip for 2-3 minutes until pale and thick.
  • Combine the coffee and Amarula in a bowl.
  • Dip the lady fingers into the coffee mixture (do not soak as this will result in a very wet Tiramisu) then place a single layer in small glasses or a serving dish of your choice.
  • Top with some of the mascarpone mixture then repeat. Finish with a layer of the cream then dust with unsweetened cocoa powder.
  • Place in the fridge and allow to chill for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight before serving.
