variety-desserts-1

Ingredients:

  • 470 ml heavy cream
  • 205 gm granulated sugar
  • 122 ml whole milk
  • 7 ml vanilla extract
  • 12 lavender buds, dried
  • 32 gm honey
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 62 gm granulated sugar

Method:

  1. For our lavender honey creme brûlée, you should begin preparing the oven by setting it to 150°C and letting it preheat.
  2. While the oven is heating, you are going to take milk, vanilla extract, sugar, and cream and mix them all together, gently.
  3. What is a gourmet dessert recipe without lavender buds? For that luxurious flavor, allow the lavender buds to soak in water for 12 to 18 minutes and after that, strain the mixture through a strainer of premium quality.
  4. Next, you need to take some honey and mix it in with the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cream until it is well dissolved.
  5. Take another bowl, and in it, add the egg yolks and whisk them together.
  6. Please make sure that the egg yolks are properly combined because, to this batter, you are going to add the wet mixture.
  7. If you have dainty and fancy baking dishes, that's great. But if you don't, then a regular round baking tray will do the trick just as well. However, you are also going to need a larger dish as we are going to immerse the round dish into this larger one before putting it in the oven.
  8. Take some hot water and pour it halfway into the larger dish.
  9. After this, pour the beautiful batter into the round baking tray and place the baking tray in the larger dish that has water.
  10. You need to gently and carefully place them in the oven and let them bake for around 20 to 35 minutes.
  11. When you remove it from the oven, please make sure that the sides are crispy while the centers are still soft and fudgy.
  12. Even though it looks delicious and can be consumed at this very stage, to enjoy it best, please allow it to cool down, and once it has reached room temperature, cover it with a wrap and set it in the refrigerator for at least three hours.
  13. After the (long) wait of three hours, you can take some sugar and caramelize it in a pan and gently pour it over the brûlée. Enjoy this dessert and let its creamy goodness sink in.

Matcha Green Tea Tiramisu:

variety-desserts-2

Ingredients:

  • 13-17 ladyfingers (not the fruit, to be specific, but the biscuits)
  • 255 ml strong matcha green tea
  • 220 gm mascarpone cheese
  • 223 gm whipping cream
  • 105 gm sugar
  • 17 gm matcha powder, unsweetened
  • 7 gm vanilla extract
  • Cocoa powder (as per taste)

Method:

  1. Your first step will be to mix in sugar and matcha green tea until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. After this, take a lady finger and dip it into the tea for about four to six seconds. Please make sure that while the ladyfinger comes out soft, it should not be very soggy. You have to repeat this process with each of the lady fingers.
  3. Next, you will need another bowl in which you have to mix whipping cream, matcha powder, vanilla extract, and mascarpone cheese together. It is best to use a whisk at this point so that the ingredients are combined until they form stiff peaks.
  4. Your tiramisu is almost ready and now it requires some delicate assembling. Get that beautiful serving dish out, and at the bottom of it, layer the ladyfingers horizontally or vertically.
  5. On to the first layer of ladyfingers, pat in half of the mixture with mascarpone cheese, and repeat the process. Please take care to see that the last layer is of mascarpone at the top.

6. To give it that extra touch, you can sprinkle some cocoa powder and refrigerate this overnight or for at least variety-desserts-3
