Ingredients
Scale
2 pints Fresh Raspberries
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
1/4 cup Water
1/2 cup Espresso (cooled)
16 oz Mascarpone Cheese
1 1/2 cups Heavy Cream
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 package Ladyfingers (approx. 7 oz)
Fresh Mint Leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Raspberry Syrup: Combine 1 pint of fresh raspberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Simmer until the raspberries break down. Strain and cool
- Make the Mascarpone Cream: Beat chilled heavy cream with remaining sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Whisk mascarpone until smooth, then fold in the whipped cream
- Combine Syrups (optional): Mix cooled raspberry syrup with cooled espresso if using
- Assemble the Tiramisu: Quickly dip ladyfingers into the syrup mixture, layer them in a dish, and spread half of the mascarpone cream over them. Scatter half of the raspberries over the cream
- Repeat Layers: Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers, then the remaining mascarpone cream, and top with the rest of the raspberries
- Chill and Garnish: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours. Garnish with mint leaves and extra raspberries before serving
Notes
Ensure ladyfingers are not oversoaked to maintain texture.
Mascarpone should be at room temperature for easier mixing.
Chilling is crucial to develop flavor and texture.
