  • One gingerbread of 250g, sliced
  • 150g mascarpone
  • 150g whipped cream

Preparing Blackcurrant Tiramisu

Fill up the base of the verrines with a tablespoon of the black currant jam and meanwhile soak the slices of the gingerbread in our crème de cassis. Arrange the slices in the verrines on top of the jam.

Prepare a mousse with the mascarpone, the whipped cream and the rest of the jam. Optionally, add a little bit of the crème de cassis for taste. Put the mousse on top of the gingerbread, add another slice of gingerbread soaked with crème de cassis and again a little bit of the mousse. Create a topping of your own choice (mint leave, blackcurrantsy)
