Description
Raspberry Tiramisu is a refreshing twist on the classic Italian dessert, combining layers of raspberry-soaked ladyfingers with creamy mascarpone. Light, fruity, and easy to prepare, this no-bake dessert is perfect for summer gatherings or elegant dinner parties.
Ingredients
- Ladyfingers (24 pieces): provide structure and absorb raspberry syrup for soft texture
- Fresh Raspberries (2 cups): add natural sweetness and vibrant color
- Mascarpone Cheese (16 oz / 450 g): creates rich and creamy layers
- Heavy Cream (1 cup / 240 ml): whipped to lighten the mascarpone mixture
- Sugar (1/2 cup / 100 g): sweetens the cream and mascarpone
- Raspberry Syrup or Puree (1 cup / 240 ml): infuses ladyfingers with fruity flavor
- Lemon Zest (1 tsp): adds freshness to enhance raspberry flavor
- Vanilla Extract (1 tsp): boosts aroma and complements creamy layers
Instructions
- Prepare raspberry syrup by blending raspberries with sugar and lemon juice, then strain if desired.
- Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, then fold in mascarpone, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Dip ladyfingers quickly into raspberry syrup and layer them in a serving dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers and sprinkle with fresh raspberries. Repeat layers.
- Top with remaining fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor and texture.
- Garnish with extra raspberries or chocolate shavings before serving.
Notes
- Do not over-soak the ladyfingers to avoid sogginess.
- Ensure mascarpone is at room temperature for smooth mixing.
- Use frozen raspberries if fresh are unavailable; thaw and drain before use.
- Prepare a day ahead to enhance flavor infusion.
