Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 24–30 ladyfingers (savoiardi)
- 1 ½ cups (200 g) fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
- 8 oz (225 g) mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, cold
Syrup and Sweeteners:
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (120 ml) raspberry liqueur or raspberry juice
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 4 oz (115 g) white chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish:
- White chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Craft a vivacious raspberry syrup by dissolving sugar in water over gentle heat, then infuse with raspberry liqueur. Allow the syrup to cool and reach ambient temperature, developing a vibrant fruity essence.
- Whip mascarpone cheese until silky smooth, creating a luxurious base for the dessert’s creamy foundation.
- Separately whisk heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla, generating billowy peaks that capture delicate air pockets.
- Delicately incorporate the whipped cream into mascarpone, then gently fold melted white chocolate throughout, ensuring a uniform, velvety texture without deflating the mixture.
- Swiftly immerse ladyfingers in the prepared raspberry syrup, ensuring a light, even saturation that prevents sogginess.
- Construct the first architectural layer by arranging syrup-kissed ladyfingers across the base of your serving vessel.
- Lavish the first tier with half the decadent mascarpone mixture, spreading evenly to create a smooth canvas.
- Scatter fresh raspberries across the cream layer, introducing bursts of natural sweetness and vibrant color.
- Replicate the layering process, building a second tier with remaining ladyfingers, mascarpone filling, and raspberries.
- Refrigerate the assembled dessert for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing flavors to harmonize and texture to set.
- Before presentation, adorn with additional fresh raspberries and delicate white chocolate shavings, transforming the tiramisu into an elegant culinary masterpiece.
Notes
- Prevent soggy ladyfingers by quickly dipping them in raspberry syrup, ensuring they absorb just enough liquid without becoming too wet.
- Select high-quality white chocolate with a smooth, creamy texture for the most luxurious mascarpone filling.
- Create a gluten-free version by using gluten-free ladyfingers or replacing them with almond sponge cake for those with dietary restrictions.
- Enhance the raspberry flavor by adding a few drops of raspberry extract to the syrup for a more intense fruity profile.
