Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cream Layer
- In a mixing bowl, beat mascarpone cheese until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone until well combined.
Step 2: Soak the Ladyfingers
- In a shallow bowl, mix fresh clementine juice with orange liqueur (if using).
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the juice mixture (don’t soak too long, or they’ll become too soft).
Step 3: Assemble the Tiramisu
- In a serving dish or individual glasses, place a layer of soaked ladyfingers.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
- Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers, then spread the remaining cream on top.
Step 4: Chill & Serve
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to let the flavors meld.
- Before serving, top with clementine segments, a sprinkle of grated dark chocolate or cocoa powder, and fresh mint leaves.
Tips for the Best Clementine Tiramisu
✔ Use Fresh Clementines – Their natural sweetness enhances the flavor.
✔ Don’t Over-Soak the Ladyfingers – A quick dip prevents them from becoming too mushy.
✔ Chill Overnight – This makes the tiramisu even more flavorful and creamy.
✔ Try a Boozy Version – Swap orange liqueur for Grand Marnier or Cointreau.
Perfect Pairings
