Ingredients and method below
Looking for a mouth watering new pudding to excite your guests to skip main and head straight for dessert? Well MasterChef quarterfinalist Imran Nathoo has got you covered!
Imran says " If this recipe is the only thing that lives on from my food adventures then I will be very happy. I designed this original recipe a few years ago has become a bit of a Christmas tradition in my family. A great alternative pud for Christmas!
Inspired by one of my all time favourite desserts and one of my all time favourite flavour combinations; chocolate and orange. Add Welsh Cakes to the mix and quite frankly you have a belter of a desert! Dare I say good enough to replace that festival trifle!
This tiramisu is super easy to make and I promise you that you'll be making this dessert time and time again. Using superb quality welsh cakes, handmade chocolate and expertly blending coffee. All made here in Wales."
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 15 mins (plus chilling for a couple of hours or overnight)
Serves: 6
Ingredients:
- 250ml of Coaltown Coffee (ground for use in a Cafetiere/French press)
- 10-12 Dark Chocolate and Orange MamGu Welshcakes
- 1 bar of Wickedly Welsh Orange Marmalade Chocolate
- 250g of mascarpone
- 250g of double cream
- 1 overflowing tsp of vanilla extract
- 1 heaped tbsp of soft brown sugar (plus 1 tsp extra for the coffee)
- Make up the coffee in a Cafetiere/french press if possible - a strong brew is what you are looking for. Pour out 250ml into a large shallow bowl. Sweeten with 1tsp of the sugar. Allow to cool.
- Next combine the mascarpone, double cream, vanilla and sugar in a large bowl. Using an electric whisk bring the mixture to soft peaks.
- Now it's time to assemble in a medium size deep side dish. Choose a nice one as this is what the finished article will be served in.
- Dip each welsh cake in turn into the coffee then place on the bottom of the dish. Ideally keep the welsh cakes whole but you may need to half a couple to fill out the empty spots.
- Next add a layer of the mascarpone and cream mixture, then another layer of coffee dipped welsh cakes, topped by more of the mascarpone and cream mixture to finish.
- Place in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours or over night.
- Before serving; grate over a generous amount of the Wickedly Welsh Orange Marmalade Chocolate (use a micro plane for a finer finish). Aim to complete cover the top of the dessert in a blanket of chocolate!
- Serve immediately!
