“My Spanish Turron Tiramisu uses the soft Turron otherwise known as Turron blando. The almonds are finely ground and blended with rosemary, honey. This type of Turron works particularly well in soft blended desserts such as mousse, ice cream or cheesecake. I decided to make a Spanish Turron Tiramisu – a dessert I love to indulge in at Christmas time. I always favour a fluffy cloud-like tiramisu over a traditional Christmas trifle. I hadn’t come across a recipe for a Spanish Tiramisu, so I thought I would recreate one myself using Pedro Ximenez sherry soaked raisins with the smooth, sweet nutty Turron.”
