Desserts should and are an essential part of a Sunday dinner at the house and because of the winter season, I put this delicious dessert on the table. Because who can resist a tangerine tiramisu?
Because I also have three children who are way under 18, alcohol in the tiramisu is not a good idea. I have therefore chosen to use cinnamon syrup which gives a nice flavor to the gingerbread cookies when soaked in, combined with tangerine juice.

Tangerine is refreshing
I love to use the tangerine because it provides a wonderfully fresh accent. And tangerines course really belong to the winter season. In-store I choose big and sturdy tangerines so I could slice (like you peeling an apple). Therefore you lose the outer flesh. I then cut out the segments, you don't have the sturdy skins of the tangerine in the tiramisu. The leftover juice I mixed with the syrup. That way I got a really nice, festive dessert.
- Because you mix the mascarpone with the cream it becomes airy and fluffy. Make sure you use the mascarpone at room temperature (otherwise you get lumps) and the cream cold (otherwise it won't stiffen)
- First, you cut off the top and bottom of the tangerine, so you can put it on your work surface and it's easier to slice away the peel.
- The mascarpone / whipped cream mixture is sweetened with honey instead of sugar for an extra flavor accent. You can also sweeten it with the flavored coffee syrup you used to sprinkle the gingerbread.
