After the last bumper picture packed post I hope you will forgive me for doing a little recycling today. I had so much of the zabaglione, pastry cream, whipped cream and mascarpone mixture left over from assembling the tiramisu that I piped it into glass dishes as a separate dessert.
I deliberately made some of my savoiardi biscuits a round shape rather than the traditional fingers that had been used in the tiramisu and those are the ones you see above.
I feel I am being exceptionally lazy today. I’ve been a bit under the weather since yesterday when I went to bed at 8pm (unheard of for me) and fed my husband fish fingers for dinner this evening. He took it quite well. Our conversation went like this:
Husband: “What did Teddy eat for dinner tonight?”
Me: “He had a chopped up pizza bite, one and a bit fish fingers, some cheesy smashed potato with lots of butter and peas.”
Husband (to Teddy enthusiastically): “Mmmm! You have such nice dinners!”
brief pause
Husband to me: “What have I got?”
Me: “The same.”
Husband: “Oh.” (pulls face then starts sniggering)
Me: “I’m sorry, I feel too ill to cook.”
another brief pause
Husband (quizzical, pointing at something new on worktop): “What are these?”
Me: “Lemon and rosemary macarons.”
Husband: “Can I eat them?”
Me: “No.”

Southern Comfort, Lime & Ginger Mousse with Savoiardi Biscuits
See I told you I was being lazy today, there isn’t even a proper recipe.
The mousse is simply the zabaglione, pastry cream, whipped cream and mascarpone from the tiramisu post. If I felt up to it, the word “simply” in this context would make me laugh until I split my sides. You could make life easier on yourself by buying your own mascarpone and savoiardi biscuits?
I loved these pics so much that I just need to point out that it was you that inspired me to track down some wrapping paper of a similar colour from Paperchase. I now keep using it as a background for my pics (like cake pops and macarons). I really need to find a new colour, but I love this one so!
Can't believe I won this! Thanks so much my lovely x
And yes, I truly NEVER thought my muffcakes would get such a mention. I mean… of ALL the things! Does that mean I'll forever be known as the 'Muffcake guy'? I much prefer your 'Pink Magician' xxx
Mmmm that flavour is really singing out to me. I must keep Mr NQN away from this page or he'll be requesting it! 😛
