Prep: 35 minutes
Chill Time: 8 hours
Servings: 9 -12 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Water 16 oz
  • 10 g Loose leaf chai 5 teabags
  • 50 g Granulated sugar
  • 4 large Egg Yolks
  • 110 g Superfine sugar ½ cup
  • 1 cup Mascarpone cheese 8 oz, room temperature
  • 1 cup Heavy whipping cream 8 oz
  • 1 package Ladyfinger cookies ~25 cookies
  • 1 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
  • ½ tbsp Cinnamon for dusting

Instructions

  • Add your water to a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Once water is boiling, remove from heat and add tea to the water. Allow to steep for about 5 minutes.
  • Remove tea bags or strain loose tea out, and let tea cool.
  • Fill a saucepan with 1-2 inches of water and bring to a boil.
  • Place your egg yolks in a glass bowl and add your superfine sugar. Granulated sugar can be used in lieu of superfine if you do not have it. Whisk together.
  • Place your bowl with eggs and sugar over the pan with boiling water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Whisk your egg yolks for 8-10 minutes. Egg yolks should reach 160°F, as well as increase in volume and lighten in color.
  • Remove from heat and let cool.
  • While egg mixture cools, in a small bowl, add 2 tbsp of cooled chai and mascarpone cheese. Mix on low until smooth. Set aside.
  • Add your mascarpone to your egg mixture and blend on low until well combined.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, add cream and 2 tbsp of cooled chai and whip cream to soft-medium peaks.
  • Fold your whipped cream into egg and mascarpone until homogenous.
  • Take your ladyfingers and quickly dunk them into your cooled chai, then place them into the bottom of an 8x8 pan. Each cookie should only be dipped for about 1 second. You want them to absorb tea but not be completely saturated.
  • Once you have covered the bottom, spread half of your cream filling over the top of the ladyfingers and smooth into one layer.
  • Repeat with the remaining ladyfingers, dipping into the tea and then covering the layer with remaining cream.
  • Cover and place in the refrigerator for ideally at least 8 hours to allow the cake to set. Once it has sufficiently chilled, using a mesh strainer, sprinkle the top with cocoa cinnamon mixture before serving. Enjoy!
