1

Prepare the Tangerines

Start by washing the tangerines thoroughly under running water. Then, use a sharp knife to carefully peel the zest from the tangerines. Make sure to remove only the colored part of the skin, avoiding the bitter white pith. Set the zest aside for later use.

2

Squeeze the Tangerines

Now, cut the tangerines in half and juice them. You can use a citrus juicer or simply squeeze them by hand. Strain the juice to remove any seeds or pulp and keep it aside.

3

Prepare the Tangerine Syrup

In a small saucepan, combine the tangerine juice, sugar, and a splash of water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let the tangerine syrup cool.

4

Make the Tangerine Cream

In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and the reserved tangerine zest. Whip the mixture using an electric mixer until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overmix!

5

Assemble the Tiramisu Cake

Dip ladyfingers one by one into the tangerine syrup, coating them lightly. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a serving dish. Spread a generous layer of the tangerine cream on top. Repeat the process with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and cream, until all the ingredients are used. Finish with a layer of tangerine cream on top.

6

Chill and Serve

Cover the tiramisu cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together. When you're ready to serve, dust the top with cocoa powder or garnish with some extra tangerine zest. Slice and enjoy!
