Ingredient Highlights

Earl Grey Tea Concentrate: The soul of this dessert.

You’ll steep a strong brew using either loose leaf tea or tea bags, then sweeten and enhance it with vanilla and a pinch of salt.

Mascarpone Whipped Cream: A combination of mascarpone, heavy cream, egg yolks, and sugar creates a cloud-like filling that’s silky yet rich.

Ladyfingers: The base of each layer.

They soak up the tea and add the perfect sponge-like texture.

Vanilla Paste or Extract: Vanilla deepens the floral notes of the Earl Grey and rounds out the flavor beautifully.

Pro Tips Before You Start

Loose leaf tea gives a more intense flavor than bags.

Use 3 tablespoons for the richest brew.

Be sure to cool the tea concentrate slightly before dipping the ladyfingers.

Use pasteurized egg yolks for food safety and a luscious mousse texture.

Don’t over-whip the mascarpone—it blends in best when soft and creamy.

How to Make Earl Grey Tiramisu

 Step 1: Make the Earl Grey Tea Concentrate

Bring water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and add Earl Grey tea.

Steep for 10–15 minutes until it’s strong and slightly bitter.

Strain the tea over a bowl of sugar and stir in vanilla paste and a pinch of salt. Let cool.

Step 2: Whip the Cream

In a stand mixer, beat the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form.

Add the mascarpone and vanilla and mix gently until smooth.

Transfer to a separate bowl.

Step 3: Prepare the Egg Base

Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and salt on high speed until pale, thick, and doubled in volume—about 5 minutes.

Step 4: Fold in the Whipped Cream

Add half the mascarpone mixture into the egg yolks and fold gently.

Repeat with the second half, mixing until just combined.

Step 5: Assemble the Layers

Dip each ladyfinger into the Earl Grey concentrate and place in a single layer in an 8-inch square pan.

Spread half of the mascarpone whipped cream on top.

Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the rest of the cream.

Step 6: Chill

Cover the tiramisu loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 7: Serve

Slice and serve chilled. You can garnish with edible flowers, extra Earl Grey dust, or cocoa powder if desired.

What to Serve It With

A glass of sparkling wine or chilled Prosecco

Fresh berries on the side for a fruity contrast

A pot of Earl Grey tea for a beautiful pairing

Variations and Substitutions

Try lavender tea for a floral twist

Swap mascarpone with whipped ricotta for a lighter texture

Use decaf Earl Grey for an evening-friendly version

Add a splash of orange liqueur to the tea for citrus notes

Storage Tips

Keep your tiramisu tightly covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

It’s best after resting overnight, as the flavors meld beautifully.

Do not freeze—dairy and tea texture may separate.

FAQs

Can I make this tiramisu ahead of time?
Yes! This dessert needs to chill for at least 8 hours, so it’s perfect to make the day before.

Is it safe to eat raw egg yolks?
Use pasteurized egg yolks to eliminate any risk. You’ll still get that classic richness.

Can I use store-bought tea concentrate?
You can, but making it from scratch gives the most intense, custom flavor.

What if I don’t have mascarpone?
Cream cheese is a backup option, but mascarpone gives the true tiramisu texture.

Do I need to sweeten the tea concentrate?
Yes—sugar balances the tannins of the strong brew and adds needed sweetness.

Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes! Just use certified gluten-free ladyfingers or sponge cake.

How many servings does this make?
An 8-inch square pan yields about 9 servings, depending on how you slice it.

Final Thoughts

This Earl Grey Tiramisu is everything I love about dessert—familiar yet elevated, delicate yet bold, and easy enough for a weekend but special enough for a celebration.

The tea adds a fragrant, cozy twist that makes every bite feel like a warm hug in elegant form.
