Easy Chai Tiramisu

 

Do you know what’s better than a chai latte? A chai latte that you can make AT home, in less than a minute! What’s even better?? Chai Tiramisu. Two of my favorite words – and I’ve combined them into one scrumptious dessert!

 

I’m currently crushing on the new sweet and spicy line of tea from TAZO®. Have you tried it yet?

 

 

The TAZO® Chai Latte K-Cup® pods make fixing a Chai Latte at home a breeze! No standing in lines at the local coffee stop AND you don’t need any fancy equipment. Just a Keurig® coffee maker and you’re ready to enjoy a chai latte in 2 easy steps…and in like, less than a minute! For real…it’s INSANE!

First, you pour in the creamy latte mixture in the pouch.

 

 

Then you brew in the tea. Boom. Just like that, you have a nice steamy, and hot chai latte.

 

 

With the first sip, I was hooked. It’s so creamy and the all the sweet and spicy flavors just pop! Sweet cinnamon, fragrant cardamom, and spicy ginger…….

….all in one cup

…..at home

……..watching my favorite shows on tv!

It’s made from milk, tea leaves and spices. Steeped in 5,000 years of Indian history, chai is a beautiful blend of black tea with all those yummy spices and scents.

I want to drink it every day – for the rest of my life. Mmmm. You can click here to find where to buy the TAZO® Chai Latte K-Cup® pods so you can enjoy them for yourself.

 

 

TAZO has partnered with New York Times Bestselling author and host Padma Lakshmi to celebrate the release of the new K-Cup® pods. Since tea and chai are huge parts of her family’s heritage, she’s developed some incredible recipes that pair perfectly with some yummy chai. You can find all of the recipes here.

I wanted to create a recipe that I could infuse with the chai flavors. One of my favorite recipes has always been tiramisu. So, chai tiramisu it is! And it’s SO good!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 8 oz. mascarpone cheese, softened or at room temp.
  (you can use 8 oz. of cream cheese if you can’t find mascarpone)
• 8 oz. brewed and cooled TAZO® Chai Latte, reserve 1 tablespoon
• 1 package of lady fingers, or vanilla wafers
• ground cinnamon

 

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla. Beat until stiff or hard peaks form.

 

Gently fold in the softened mascarpone cheese, and 1 tablespoon of cooled chai latte.

 

Dunk each lady finger or vanilla wafer (using vanilla wafers in my recipe because I can’t find lady fingers in stock anywhere) into the remaining chai latte, and layer evenly onto bottom of an 8″ square pan.  DO NOT let the lady fingers or wafers soak. Literally…just dunk straight in and straight out, and layer into the pan. If you let them soak too long, they’ll get too mushy.

After the bottom is layered with cookies, spread half of the mascarpone mixture on top and spread evenly.

Add another layer of dunked lady fingers or vanilla wafers on top.

Spread the last half of the mascarpone mixture on top.

 

Sprinkle the top with ground cinnamon.

Refrigerate overnight or at least for 6-8 hours before serving.

 

Enjoy!!
