Ingredients

Scale

2 cups boiling water

4 bags Ho-Ho-Hoji-Chai sachets

About 40 Lady Fingers

|| Cream Cheese Custard ||

5 egg yolks

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup milk

1 teaspoon almond extract

16 ounces cream cheese, room tempurature

1 cup heavy whipping cream

Cocoa powder for topping

Instructions

In a small bowl, steep Ho-Ho-Hoji-Chai sachets in hot water for about 5 minutes.

Over double boiler, whisk the egg yolks, sugar almond extract, and milk together constantly until it doubles in size, about 7 minutes. Take off the heat. With a hand mixer, beat in the cream cheese until smooth. Set off to the side to cool.

In a standing mixer, whip heavy whipping cream until soft peaks appear. Gently fold into the cream cheese custard mixture.

In a 9×9 baking dish, line the bottom of the pan with lady fingers that have been dipped into the tea all in the same direction. Pour in half of the custard mixture and smooth from edge to edge.

Repeat this step.

Dust the tea tiramisu with cocoa powder, cover with foil and refrigerate for about 6-8 hours.
