So many recipes call for coffee or hard liquor in Tiramisu. Not being a
fan of either, I wondered if some other kind of flavorful liquid might
work. I love tea, so I decided to try that. I loved it. And after hearty
approvals from my husband and my in-laws I think it's good enough to
share: Chai Tea Tiramisu 4 tablespoons Tiger
Spice Chai mix, divided Add 7 ounces of water to two tablespoons of the chai powder. Stir, then
chill until cooled. Cream marscapone, neufatel, sugar and one tablespoon
of the chai powder with 2 tablespoons of the cooled chai mix. Blend until
smooth, Set aside. Dip 12 lady fingers into the cooled chai mix, one at a time, placing them
in a glass baking dish, covering the bottom. Spread half of the cheese
mixture on top. Add another layer of dipped lady fingers. Top with other
half of cheese mixture. Sprinkle top liberally with cinnamon. Chill 2
hours before serving. Serves 6.
7 ounces hot water
1/4 cup marscapone cheese
