00:06hello there folks and a very warm welcome back to what's for tea it's lovely to see you all again
00:12and i hope that i find you well and thanks for coming over for this week's archive recipe this
00:18one is from about five years ago and it's been one of my favorite desserts on the channel i love
00:25tiramisu but this is just a wee bit lighter a wee bit more refreshing a bit more of a springy
00:30summer
00:31type dessert so it's a limoncello tiramisu you know so you get the lemon instead of the coffee
00:36well worth doing so i'm going to hand you over to me from about five years ago and i will
00:42catch up
00:43with you just at the end and as usual all of the ingredients will be on the screen as i
00:48use them
00:48and also down below if you just click more or show more it will bring up everything down there for
00:55you so please do enjoy this one and like i said i will catch up with you at the end
01:00and you can let
01:00me know what you thought of this one so first thing you want to do is get your syrup made
01:05so into a
01:06small saucepan pop your water and then 100 grams of your sugar and just let this come up to a
01:14simmer
01:14and by the time it comes up to a simmer it'll be more or less dissolved so you just want
01:19to dissolve
01:19your sugar into your water once it's dissolved pop your water and sugar into a bowl followed by your
01:26limoncello and then half of your zest
01:35and then the juice of your lemon just give that a wee stir together and you can set that to
01:41the side
01:42just now the next thing we're going to do is whip up our cream so into a bowl pop your
01:48cream
01:50and then some more of your lemon zest
01:54and then just whip that until you get good stiff peaks you want this quite firm and that's ideal
02:04so again just pop this to the side the last thing you have to do is your curd mixture so
02:10into a bowl
02:11pop your curd and then your mascarpone cheese
02:16and then the rest of your sugar
02:22you just want to give these a good a good whip together for about five minutes until it's lovely
02:29and loose and then just towards the end you can pop in the rest of your lemon zest
02:37you'll have something that looks like this it's nice and loose
02:42now all you're going to do now is pop your cream into your mascarpone mixture or your mascarpone
02:47mixture into your cream whichever way you prefer and you're just going to fold these two in very
02:54gently until they're well combined but you don't want to knock all of your air out so just take it
02:59easy
02:59and you'll have something that's lovely and fluffy and moussy so that's all your components done
03:05all we have to do now is assemble
03:09now i'm going to be doing mine in two different ways i'm going to be using a smaller dish like
03:15this
03:16because i'm also going to make four smaller individual portions
03:19if you weren't doing that and you're just going to make the one you know the one big tiramisu
03:24you would use a larger dish like the one at the back and they'll pop the measurements on the screen
03:29for you so all you've got to do is dip your lady fingers quickly into your limoncello solution
03:37now these things soak up you know liquid really really quickly so you don't want that you know
03:43you don't want them in there for long just a second or two and they will expand quite rapidly
03:50actually so you want a layer of your lady fingers and then a layer of that lovely lemony custardy oh
03:58goodness and then another layer of your biscuits
04:08and then another layer of cream just keep going until you're at the top of your dish
04:18now because i'm at the top of my dish it's actually a bit wider now so i've got room for
04:23an extra one
04:24just at the bottom and you'll see in a wee second
04:36there we are
04:37i'll just top that off with some cream
04:42and give it a wee smooth down with a spatula
04:47easy i mean how easy is this
04:50and you know what see when it's chilled and you've cut it up it looks so good
05:01so once it's all smoothed down that's you basically finished now you don't want to decorate
05:05anything at this point because it's going to go into the fridge now for at least six or seven hours
05:11till it's completely you know chilled and firmed right up in fact you'd be you know you go away with
05:17doing this overnight if you can but this was first thing in the morning for me so i'm just going
05:24to
05:24leave this in the fridge all day until tea time i'm going to make four individual portions
05:34so it's just exactly the same principle but you'll want to break your biscuits up to fit in your dish
05:41a layer of cream then more of your biscuits you put in as much or as little as you like
05:47and then just top it off with your cream again and i'm just going to decorate this one just to
05:52let you see
05:52how i would do it a few raspberries a few flaked almonds now that's not traditional
06:00i just like the texture of almonds and cream a wee bit of icing sugar and that's it and again
06:05you just refrigerate this until it's firm obviously won't need anywhere near as long as this one did
06:11so this was me seven hours later and it's nice and firm so i'm going to pop on a few
06:18of my fresh
06:19raspberries i like to pop a raspberry you know if i'm making this kind of thing on each portion
06:25so that would be eight portions there that gives you a good cutting guide as well
06:31and then some flaked almonds some fresh mint and finished off with that icing sugar and i think that
06:38looks ever so pretty now i'm going to cut this up into portions but this is going somewhere else
06:44this isn't for us this is getting sent elsewhere so i'm going to cut this cut this up into portions
06:51pop them into tupperware dishes and send them on their way so i'll show you on the plate but
06:57unfortunately i can't cut into it because it's not for us but look how cute that is there's just the
07:06right amount you know it doesn't look very much but you got to bear in mind it is quite sweet
07:10and quite
07:11rich so yeah that that would be the ideal portion serving if i was having it i think that's just
07:19so
07:19beautiful and light and delicate quite an elegant dessert that but this is my portion
07:28and i just dig in this is quite hard to do one-handed i did only have one hand in
07:33the go here
07:33i should have maybe popped you onto the tripod but that was delicious so yeah so that was the lemon
07:40tiramisu or the limoncello tiramisu so do let me know what you thought of that one like i said well
07:45worth doing if you like tiramisu but you're looking for something just a wee bit lighter and refreshing
07:51it's delicious so thank you once again for watching and a huge thank you as usual to the supporters of
