Ingredients

  • For the Raspberry Layer:

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

  • 1/2 cup water

For the Mascarpone Cream Layer:

  • 1 1/2 cups mascarpone cheese

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 tablespoon amaretto or rum (optional)

For Assembling:

  • 1 package ladyfingers (about 20-24)

  • 1/4 cup brewed coffee or espresso (cooled)

  • 2 tablespoons raspberry syrup (from the raspberry layer)

  • Fresh raspberries, for garnish

  • Cocoa powder or grated chocolate (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Raspberry Layer:

    • Make the Raspberry Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5–7 minutes until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly.

    • Strain the Mixture: Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds. Set aside to cool completely.

    2. Prepare the Mascarpone Cream:

    • Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

    • Mix the Mascarpone: In a separate bowl, whisk mascarpone cheese and amaretto (if using) until smooth.

    • Fold Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined.

    3. Assemble the Tiramisu Delight:

    • Soak the Ladyfingers: In a shallow dish, mix cooled coffee and raspberry syrup. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the mixture (don’t soak) and line the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish.

    • Layer the Tiramisu: Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the soaked ladyfingers. Sprinkle half of the strained raspberry syrup and add a handful of fresh raspberries.

    • Repeat the Layers: Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone cream. Smooth the top and garnish with more raspberries.

    4. Chill and Serve:

    • Chill the Dessert: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor and texture.

    • Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, dust with cocoa powder or grated chocolate and garnish with fresh raspberries.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep the tiramisu covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  • Freezing: Not recommended, as the texture may change upon thawing.

  • Serving Tip: This dessert is perfect for make-ahead preparation, and it actually improves as it sits.
