Raspberry Tiramisu

A delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert, featuring fresh raspberries and creamy mascarpone layered with espresso-soaked ladyfingers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
  • 24 ladyfinger cookies
  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare your espresso. Brew a strong cup of espresso or coffee and set aside to cool.
  2. Whip the cream. In a bowl, add the heavy cream and sugar, and whip until stiff peaks form.
  3. Mix in the mascarpone. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract into your whipped cream.
  4. Incorporate fresh raspberries. Stir in 3/4 of the fresh raspberries into the mascarpone mixture.
  5. Dip ladyfingers in coffee. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso and lay them side by side in a 9×13 inch dish.
  6. Layer the cream mixture. Spread half of the mascarpone-raspberry cream over the ladyfingers.
  7. Repeat the process. Layer another set of dipped ladyfingers followed by the remaining raspberry cream mixture.
  8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4-6 hours or ideally overnight.
  9. Dust with cocoa powder just before serving.
  10. Garnish with remaining fresh raspberries.

Notes

For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Experiment with different fruits for a unique flavor.
