Easter Inspired Irish Coffee Tiramisu

Tue, 30 March 2021

Chef: Edward Hayden

There are so many different versions of tiramisu out, there but this simple version is still my favourite and can be prepared in minutes as a perfect Easter treat for your family to enjoy.

 

4 hot cross buns-each cut into 4 or 5 slices

14oz/400g mascarpone cheese

7floz/200ml cream, whipped

7floz/200ml Irish Yogurts Clonakilty Low Fat Greek Style Yogurt

2oz/50g icing sugar

2-3 large cups strong black coffee

3 tablespoons Irish Whiskey

1 tin pears, drained & diced finely

Cocoa powder to garnish

 

Place the coffee and whiskey into a flat dish.

Mix together the mascarpone cheese, icing sugar, yogurt and the whipped cream and add in three tablespoons of the coffee and alcohol mixture.

Dip each slice of the hot cross buns into the coffee mixture and then immediately layer them decoratively in the serving bowl, placing some of the diced pears and creamy mixture in alternative layers.

Finish with a layer of the creamy filling and then dust liberally with cocoa powder just before serving.

 

Edward’s Handy Hints:

• It’s best to leave them to rest for an hour or two before serving
• If you wish you could use this mixture to build it in a series of individual glasses as a varied option
• Stewed mixed berries can be used instead of the diced pears
