Turmeric Latte Tiramisu reimagines Italy’s most iconic layered dessert through the lens of warm Indian-inspired flavours. Instead of the usual espresso soak, this version uses a fragrant turmeric latte blend infused with cinnamon, cardamom and a hint of black pepper. The result is a dessert that’s golden, soothing and aromatic, while still maintaining the familiar creaminess of tiramisu.
The mascarpone layer is lightly tinted with turmeric for colour and balance, and the dessert sets beautifully in the fridge, making it a perfect make-ahead option. It’s modern, comforting and ideal for celebrations where you want to serve something classic, but with a fresh cultural twist.
