Method
 

Thandai Tiramisu Preparation

  2. Soak saffron strands in warm heavy cream for 5 minutes. In a mixing bowl, beat mascarpone with heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in thandai masala and saffron-infused cream.
  3. Dip ladyfinger cookies in thandai mixture for 2-3 seconds. In an 8x8-inch dish, layer soaked ladyfingers, half the mascarpone mixture, and repeat with remaining ingredients.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  5. Garnish with silvered pistachios, almonds, and optional edible rose petals before serving. Slice and serve chilled.
