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)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (approximately, for whipping cream)

Additional 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

  1. Prepare Rose Milk Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine rose syrup, full fat milk, and rose water. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and uniformly blended. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Mix Mascarpone & Sugar: In a separate bowl, combine the cold mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and a few drops of rose essence. Beat the mixture until it is smooth and creamy with no lumps, creating a luscious mascarpone cream base.
  3. Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream along with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. This adds a light and airy texture to the dessert.
  4. Soak Ladyfingers: Briefly dip each ladyfinger cookie into the rose milk mixture, ensuring they absorb the fragrant liquid but do not become soggy. Arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers in an 8×8-inch dish to form the base layer.
  5. Layer Mascarpone Cream: Spread half of the whipped mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers. This creamy layer adds richness and balances the sweetness of the rose flavors.
  6. Repeat Layers: Repeat the process by dipping the remaining ladyfingers in the rose milk mixture and layering them on top of the mascarpone cream. Follow with the remaining mascarpone mixture, spreading it smoothly to finish the layers.
  7. Chill: Cover the assembled tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or, preferably, overnight. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the refrigerator. Optionally pipe additional whipped cream on top for extra decoration. Garnish with edible rose buds and silvered pistachios to add color, texture, and elegance before serving.

Notes

  • Use cold mascarpone and heavy cream for ease of whipping and better texture.
  • Do not soak ladyfingers too long in the rose milk to prevent sogginess.
  • Refrigeration time is essential for flavor melding and dessert set; overnight chilling is best.
  • Adjust sugar quantities according to personal sweetness preference.
  • Food grade rose buds add visual appeal but should be used sparingly to maintain edible safety.
  • This recipe is naturally eggless and suitable for those avoiding raw eggs.
