  • 30g (2 tbsp) butter

In a mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, pistachio cream, and cardamom powder until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 4: Soak the Biscuits

Quickly dip each savoiardi biscuit into the prepared chocolate milk (donโ€™t oversoak them!) and arrange them in a single layer in your serving dish.

Step 5: Assemble the Layers

  • Spread half of the mascarpone-pistachio cream over the soaked biscuits.
  • Spread the roasted kadaif in an even layer.
  • Repeat with another layer of chocolate milk soaked biscuits and top with the mascarpone-pistachio cream.

Notes

  • If you like a crispier texture of kadaif in your tiramisu, you could mix 2 Tbsp of tahini into the kadaif before layering it. This prevents it from soaking the excess moisture and keeps it crispy.ย 
  • Depending on how sweet your pistachio cream is, you may have to adjust the quantity of it. Taste check and add more if you prefer it sweeter.
