You might think this is a strange combination... I wanted to make tiramisu, but I was looking for something a little different. I’ve tried making tiramisu in a thousand ways—chocolate, strawberry, matcha, barley, and more. But I had never tried this version before, and it has a fresh, fragrant flavor that bursts in your mouth. I used freshly picked clementines, so you can imagine the aroma. For the base, I used pandoro, but you can use whatever you prefer—ladyfingers, sponge cake, or any soft cake. The filling is a mascarpone cream with pasteurized eggs (https://cookpad.wasmer.app/it/ricette/11301157-crema-al-mascarpone-con-uova-pastorizzate?via=profile) flavored with mandarin. This mandarin-based dessert is a perfect idea for a New Year’s Eve celebration. In Chinese culture, mandarins are used as a symbol of long life, and their round shape represents infinity. Happy New Year to everyone!

Steps

1

For the mascarpone cream with pasteurized eggs, click here 👇 https://cookpad.wasmer.app/it/ricette/11301157-crema-al-mascarpone-con-uova-pastorizzate?via=profile
2

To flavor the cream with mandarin, simply add the zest of one untreated mandarin at the end.
3

For the syrup, add the water, sugar, and mandarin juice to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and let it boil for about 3 minutes. Let the syrup cool.
4

On a serving plate, use a springform ring to assemble the tiramisu. I used pandoro and lined the sides as you would for a Charlotte, taking advantage of the star shape.
5

Brush the pandoro with the mandarin syrup and add a layer of cream. Add another layer of pandoro, brush with syrup, and add more cream.
6

For the final layer of cream, you can use a piping bag to distribute it, as I did. Decorate as you like. I used mandarins, cape gooseberries, and powdered sugar.
