why make this recipe
Make this recipe when you want a quick, pretty dessert that feels special. It needs few steps and no baking. The raspberries add a fresh, fruity flavor that pairs well with the coffee and cream.
how to make Raspberry Tiramisu
Follow simple layers of soaked ladyfingers, creamy mascarpone mix, and fresh raspberries. Chill well so the flavors blend and the dessert sets firm. The full steps are below.
Ingredients :
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 package ladyfingers
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Directions :
- In a bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Beat in the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
- In a serving dish, layer half of the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
- Layer half of the raspberries over the mascarpone.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients, finishing with mascarpone on top.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with additional raspberries.
how to serve Raspberry Tiramisu
Serve chilled. Cut into squares or spoon into bowls. Add a few extra raspberries and a light dusting of cocoa powder on top for a pretty plate. Serve with coffee or a light dessert wine.
how to store Raspberry Tiramisu
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid. Keep in the fridge for up to 2 days for best texture. Raspberries can make the ladyfingers soft over time, so eat soon. Do not freeze; freezing will change the cream texture.
tips to make Raspberry Tiramisu
- Beat the cream to soft peaks to keep it light.
- Do not soak ladyfingers too long; quick dips keep texture.
- Use room-temperature mascarpone so it blends smoothly.
- Chill at least 4 hours so it sets well and flavors mix.
- Taste the mascarpone mix and add a bit more sugar if you like it sweeter.
variation (if any)
- Use strawberries or mixed berries instead of raspberries.
- Make individual cups instead of one dish for easy serving.
- Add a splash of raspberry liqueur to the coffee for extra flavor.
