Description
This Fresh Raspberry Tiramisu is a fruity twist on the classic Italian dessert, made with layers of raspberry-soaked ladyfingers, rich mascarpone cream, and fresh raspberries. It’s a light, no-bake treat perfect for summer gatherings or a romantic dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh raspberries (bright flavor and vibrant color)
- 1 pack ladyfinger biscuits (savoiardi)
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (for airy filling)
- ½ cup raspberry preserves or purée (enhances raspberry flavor)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar (balances tartness)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (adds brightness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (complements berries)
Instructions
- In a bowl, gently mash 1 cup of raspberries with the lemon juice and raspberry preserves to create a chunky purée. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, stir the mascarpone cheese until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream to form a light, airy filling.
- Dip each ladyfinger into the raspberry purée briefly, then layer them in a serving dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then top with a layer of the remaining raspberries.
- Repeat the layers with more dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone cream.
- Finish with extra raspberries on top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Serve chilled, optionally garnished with mint or powdered sugar.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries for best texture and flavor; frozen ones may be too watery.
- Mascarpone should be at room temperature for smooth blending.
- Letting the tiramisu chill overnight enhances the flavor and texture.
- Ladyfingers should be dipped quickly to avoid getting soggy.
