Description

This Raspberry Tiramisu is a delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert, combining layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers with a creamy mascarpone and whipped cream mixture, accented by fresh raspberries for a burst of fruity flavor. Perfectly chilled and easy to assemble, this no-bake dessert is ideal for impressing guests or enjoying a refreshing treat at home.


Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 cups mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Assembly

  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 package ladyfinger biscuits
  • 1 cup coffee or espresso, cooled


Instructions

  1. Whip Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, ensuring the cream is light and airy for the dessert’s creamy texture.
  2. Prepare Mascarpone: In a separate bowl, mix mascarpone cheese until smooth to create a rich base for the filling.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone until well blended, taking care to maintain the airy texture for a light, fluffy filling.
  4. Layer Ladyfingers: Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee or espresso and arrange a single layer at the bottom of an 8×8-inch dish, ensuring they are moist but not soggy.
  5. Add Filling and Raspberries: Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers, then scatter half of the fresh raspberries over the top for a sweet and tart balance.
  6. Repeat Layers: Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, the remaining mascarpone mixture, and the rest of the raspberries to build the dessert’s signature layered look and taste.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for at least 4 hours to allow it to set properly and for the flavors to meld beautifully.
  8. Serve: Serve chilled, optionally garnished with extra raspberries or a sprig of fresh mint to enhance presentation and flavor.

Notes

  • Be careful not to soak ladyfingers too long in coffee to avoid sogginess.
  • Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • For a more intense coffee flavor, espresso is recommended.
  • This dessert can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • Garnish with mint leaves or a dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant finish.
