Ingredients
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.5 cup honey
- 1 inch fresh ginger sliced
- 4 chamomile tea bags optional
- 4 large egg yolks cold from the fridge
- 16 ounces mascarpone cold from the fridge
- 0.25 cup heavy cream cold
- 0.33 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Aperol optional
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 cup heavy cream cold
- 24 lady fingers a 7-ounce package
- 0.5 cup strawberry jam
- 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
- 3 tablespoons strawberry jam
- 0 sliced fresh strawberries
Instructions
- To make the syrup, bring 1/2 cup water, the honey, and ginger to a gentle boil over medium. Simmer for 1-2 minutes and remove from the heat. Add the tea bags, cover, and steep for 15 minutes. Strain out the ginger and discard the tea.
- In a bowl, beat together the egg yolks, mascarpone, 1/4 cup heavy cream, honey, Aperol, vanilla, and ginger until combined and lightly whipped. Do not beat longer than 2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whip the remaining 1/4 cup of cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone cream.
- Working with one at a time, quickly dip each ladyfinger into the ginger syrup. Do not let the ladyfinger sit long in the syrup, they'll get too soggy. Arrange a single layer of the dipped ladyfingers in a 9x9 inch baking dish.
- Spoon over about half of the mascarpone cream. Dollop 1/2 cup strawberry jam over the cream. Then arrange a single layer of sliced strawberries on top.
- Dip the remaining ladyfingers in the ginger syrup, lining them up over the berries one by one. Add the cream on top and spread it into a smooth layer. Cover and chill for 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Before serving, top with 2-3 tablespoons jam plus the sliced strawberries. If desired, crumble freeze-dried raspberries overtop. Slice, scoop, and enjoy!
