London Fog Tiramisu With Lavender
Instructions
1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined. Whisk in the milk, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it gets thick. Remove from heat, and add the butter. Place the custard in a bowl, and press wrap against the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool to room temperature.
2
Meanwhile, beat the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Whisk the mascarpone cream into the custard, and fold in the whipping cream until fluffy. Set aside.
3
In a small bowl, brew the 2 Tablespoons of lavender earl grey with 1 cup of hot water. Brew for about 4-5 minutes, until very strong. Let cool slightly. Mix in the brandy (or orange liqueur if you prefer!)
4
If your lady fingers are whole, cut them in half length-wise. (Mine came cut in half). Dip each half into the tea mixture, and place them at the bottom of a 8×8 baking dish (the dish I used was 8.5×5.5). Break the lady fingers in half to fill the bottom if necessary. Some gaps are ok. Spread half of the mascarpone filling over the lady fingers, and then repeat with the remaining lady fingers and cream. Refrigerate for at least four hours, preferably overnight.
5
Before serving, dust the top of the surface with a couple tablespoons of cocoa powder. Serve cold with earl grey tea!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Brew Earl Grey Concentrate 🫖Steep the lavender Earl Grey tea in hot water for 5-7 minutes to create a concentrated infusion, then cool completely before dipping lady fingers to prevent sogginess while maximizing floral flavor.
- Temper Egg Yolks Properly 🥚Whisk egg yolks with sugar over a double boiler until they reach 160°F for food safety, then cool to room temperature before folding into mascarpone to ensure a silky, stable filling.
- Balance Mascarpone Consistency 🧈Let mascarpone sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before mixing to prevent lumps, then fold whipped cream gently in two additions to maintain a light, cloud-like texture.
- Quick-Dip Lady Fingers 👆Immerse lady fingers in cooled tea for exactly 1-2 seconds per side rather than soaking them, as they continue absorbing moisture and will firm up as the tiramisu sets overnight.
- Cocoa Dust Just Before Serving ✨Apply cocoa powder topping only 1-2 hours before serving rather than immediately after assembly to prevent it from becoming damp and clumping from the cream's moisture.
