🌸 Introduction
Tiramisu, an Italian classic, is often called the “pick-me-up” dessert thanks to its blend of coffee, mascarpone cream, and delicate ladyfingers. In this Raspberry Tiramisu Delight, we take the traditional recipe and add a luscious twist of fresh raspberries for a fruity brightness that balances the richness of mascarpone. This dessert is creamy, refreshing, indulgent, and elegant—perfect for celebrations, dinner parties, or simply to spoil yourself and your loved ones.
📝 Ingredients
For the Cream Layer
- 1 ½ cups (12 oz) mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for brightness)
For the Coffee Mixture
- 1 ½ cups freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
- 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (Kahlúa or amaretto, optional)
For the Layers
- 1 package (about 24–28) ladyfinger biscuits (savoiardi)
- 2 cups fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
- 2 tbsp raspberry jam (slightly warmed for easy spreading)
For Garnish
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
- White chocolate curls (optional)
- A few mint leaves or edible flowers
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prepare the Cream:
- In a large chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- In another bowl, whisk together mascarpone, sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until light and fluffy.
- Prepare the Coffee Soak:
- Mix cooled espresso with coffee liqueur. Pour into a shallow dish.
- Layer the Base:
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture (don’t soak—just a quick dunk).
- Arrange them in a single layer in a 9×13-inch dish (or glass trifle bowl).
- Add Raspberry Goodness:
- Spread half the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
- Scatter raspberries evenly and drizzle with a little warmed raspberry jam.
- Second Layer:
- Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers.
- Top with the remaining mascarpone cream, spreading evenly.
- Chill:
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best) for flavors to meld.
- Finishing Touch:
- Dust with cocoa powder just before serving.
- Garnish with extra raspberries, mint leaves, or white chocolate curls.
🔥 Methods & Tips
- Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor, but frozen (thawed and drained) work if fresh aren’t available.
- A glass trifle dish gives a beautiful layered presentation.
- If you prefer non-alcoholic, skip the liqueur—coffee alone works beautifully.
- For extra decadence, alternate raspberries with raspberry coulis drizzle in each layer.
