Raspberry Tiramisu (Printable)

Fruity Italian dessert with mascarpone cream and fresh raspberries

# What You Need:

→ Cream Mixture

01 - 8.8 oz mascarpone cheese
02 - 0.85 cup heavy cream
03 - 0.33 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

→ Fruit

05 - 10.6 oz fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish
06 - 2 tbsp raspberry liqueur (optional)

→ Ladyfingers

07 - 5.3 oz ladyfingers (about 16 pieces)
08 - 0.63 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled

→ Garnish

09 - 1 tbsp powdered sugar
10 - Fresh mint leaves (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Beat the heavy cream with half the sugar in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form, approximately 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
02 - Whisk mascarpone with remaining sugar and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in whipped cream until fully incorporated.
03 - Toss fresh raspberries with raspberry liqueur in a small bowl if using. Set aside to macerate slightly.
04 - Quickly dip each ladyfinger into cooled coffee, ensuring absorption without oversaturation. Arrange half the ladyfingers in a single layer in an 8x8 inch dish.
05 - Spread half the mascarpone cream evenly over dipped ladyfingers. Distribute half the prepared raspberries across the cream layer.
06 - Repeat layering with remaining ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, and raspberries. Smooth top layer with spatula.
07 - Cover dish tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for minimum 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and texture to firm.
08 - Dust surface generously with powdered sugar before serving. Garnish with additional fresh raspberries and mint leaves if desired. Serve cold.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The brightness of fresh raspberries cuts through the rich mascarpone in ways you never expected
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes but tastes like you spent all day on it
02 -
  • Do not over-dip the ladyfingers or they will disintegrate into a mushy layer
  • The chilling time is absolutely non-negotiable, the texture completely transforms in the fridge
03 -
  • Make individual servings in small glass cups for an elegant dinner party presentation
  • If you don't have raspberry liqueur, a splash of Chambord works perfectly as a substitute
