Ingredients
Scale
Soaking Mixture
- 1/4 cup raspberry liqueur or raspberry juice
- 1/2 cup milk
Main Ingredients
- 24 ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 6 oz white chocolate (melted and cooled)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Garnish
- White chocolate shavings
- Additional fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare the mascarpone mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese together with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, ensuring it’s light and fluffy.
- Combine mascarpone and whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture to maintain the airy texture.
- Add white chocolate: Fold in the melted and cooled white chocolate thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Prepare the soaking liquid: In a shallow dish, mix the raspberry liqueur or juice with the milk to create the soaking solution for the ladyfingers.
- Soak the ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the soaking liquid, ensuring they absorb some liquid but do not become soggy.
- Assemble the first layer: Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish or a similar serving container.
- Add mascarpone and raspberries: Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers, then sprinkle with half of the fresh raspberries.
- Repeat layers: Repeat the process with another layer of soaked ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture and raspberries.
- Chill the tiramisu: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the dessert to set firmly.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, garnish with white chocolate shavings and extra fresh raspberries for a beautiful finishing touch.
Notes
- You can substitute raspberry liqueur with raspberry juice for a non-alcoholic version.
- For an extra tangy flavor, add a tablespoon of lemon zest to the mascarpone mixture.
- Make sure not to soak the ladyfingers for too long to avoid sogginess.
- This dessert can be prepared a day in advance to allow flavors to fully develop.
