Description
A fruity twist on the classic tiramisu. This no-bake dessert layers mascarpone cream, homemade raspberry jam, and syrup-soaked ladyfingers for an elegant finish.
Ingredients
- For the Raspberry Jam: 3 cups frozen raspberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar (for jam)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (for jam)
- For the Raspberry Syrup: ½ cup granulated sugar (for syrup)
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup frozen raspberries (for syrup)
- For the Mascarpone Cream: 16 ounces mascarpone cheese, cold
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (for cream)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy cream, cold
- For Assembly: 25 to 30 ladyfinger cookies
- Fresh raspberries for garnish
- Lemon zest or thin lemon slices for decoration
Instructions
- Make the Raspberry Jam: Combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until bubbling. Reduce heat and simmer 20–25 minutes until thickened. Refrigerate until cool.
- Prepare the Raspberry Syrup: Combine sugar, water, and raspberries in a small saucepan. Boil, then simmer for 3 minutes, mashing berries slightly. Strain to remove seeds and cool completely.
- Make the Mascarpone Cream: Beat mascarpone, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth. Add cold heavy cream and whip until medium-stiff peaks form. Do not overmix.
- Assemble the Tiramisu: Spread a thin layer of mascarpone cream in an 8×10-inch or 9×9-inch dish.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the raspberry syrup (1–2 seconds per side) and arrange in a single layer over the cream.
- Spread half the mascarpone cream evenly over the ladyfingers, followed by half the raspberry jam.
- Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining cream.
- Chill: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Finish & Serve: Spread the remaining raspberry jam on top. Garnish with fresh raspberries and lemon zest. Slice and serve chilled.
