Raspberry Tiramisu Ingredients
- 24 ladyfingers
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups fresh raspberries, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
- Prepare the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until smooth and well combined, creating a creamy mascarpone mixture.
- Assemble the First Layer: Quickly dip half of the ladyfingers into a light raspberry juice or water (optional) to soften slightly without becoming soggy. Arrange them evenly in the bottom of a serving dish.
- Add Raspberries: Scatter 1 cup of fresh raspberries evenly over the ladyfingers layer, spreading them carefully.
- Add Mascarpone Cream: Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the raspberry and ladyfinger layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the process with the remaining ladyfingers, raspberries, and mascarpone cream, layering the dessert evenly.
- Chill: Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
- Serve: Before serving, optionally dust the top with powdered sugar and garnish with extra fresh raspberries for an elegant finish.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh, ripe raspberries to balance the sweetness and creaminess.
- Do not soak ladyfingers for too long to avoid a soggy dessert.
- This dessert can be prepared a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
- For a raspberry juice dip, gently crush a handful of raspberries with a little water and strain to use as a soaking liquid for ladyfingers.
- Mascarpone is best at room temperature for easier mixing.
