Ingrédients
- 6 Miss Chef® apples
- 1 packet of ladyfinger biscuits
- 2 tbsp amaretto
- 1 tbsp matcha tea
Mascarpone cream: - 250g mascarpone
- 4 eggs
- 80g sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
syrup: - 125g sugar
- 1/2L water
- 1 lemon, juice & pared zest
- a few verbena leaves
Préparation
- The apples in syrup: The night before, peel and core the apples and cut into small cubes. Put the sugar and water in a saucepan, bring to the boil and then add the apple cubes. Cook gently for less than 1 minute, they should be firm but tender. Add the juice and pared zest of the lemon and the verbena leaves, cover and leave to infuse in a cool place. Chill in the fridge.
- The Mascarpone cream: Separate the eggs, keeping both the whites and yolks. Beat the egg whites into snowy peaks, adding a pinch of salt halfway through. Put to one side. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until light and pale, add the matcha tea and then the mascarpone to make a thick cream. Carefully fold in the egg whites. Put to one side.
Assembly:
- Drain the cold apples, keeping the flavoured liquid. In a bowl, blend half the liquid with the amaretto and the Matcha tea powder. Dip the biscuits quickly in the mixture and arrange them on the bottom of a rectangular serving dish or in individual transparent bowls. Spread a layer of apple cubes over them, then a layer of Mascarpone cream and repeat. Leave the tea-amisu to set in the fridge overnight. Sprinkle with matcha tea just before serving and decorate with a verbena leaf and apple matchsticks.
Trucs et astuces
Depending on the season, adding fresh raspberries or Morello cherries in syrup to the apple will complement the Miss Chef Apple flavour by bringing a note of acidity and a dash of colour... If you prefer, you could make a plain mascarpone cream and dilute the matcha in the dipping syrup so that the biscuits absorb the tea's colour and flavour...
