teas.co.uk · 4 hr 30 min · Serves 4
You'll need
- 2 tea bags of Tetley Digestive Biscuits
- 250ml warm whole milk (warmed to 80C)
- 12 Tetley Digestive Biscuits (the biscuits, not the tea bags)
- 250g mascarpone, at room temperature
- 100ml double cream, whipped to soft peaks
- 50g caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, for dusting
- 1 small 1L glass dish
- 1 medium bowl, 1 shallow bowl for the soak
Method
- Heat the milk to about 80C, drop in the two tea bags, cover and steep for four minutes.
- Lift out and squeeze the bags.
- Cool the tea infused milk quickly by standing the bowl in cold water for about ten minutes.
- Beat the mascarpone with the sugar and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold the whipped cream gently through the mascarpone.
- Dip six digestive biscuits briefly into the cooled soak, about a second each side, so they take up flavour without collapsing.
- Lay them in a single layer in the bottom of the dish.
- Spread half the mascarpone cream over the biscuits.
- Dip and layer the other six biscuits the same way, then top with the rest of the cream.
- Dust with cocoa, cover and chill for four hours before serving.
