Raspberry Syrup
- 4 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup water
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Mascarpone Filling
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 16 ounces mascarpone cheese
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup raspberry syrup (from above)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Assembly
- 1 (7 oz) package Savoiardi ladyfingers (about 24)
- 1 ounce good-quality white chocolate (e.g., Lindt)
- Make the Raspberry Syrup: Place raspberries and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Crush the berries with a potato masher or fork. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 2 minutes.
- Strain the Berries: Remove from heat and pour into a fine-mesh strainer over a measuring cup. Press with a spoon or ladle to extract as much juice as possible. Discard seeds.
- Cook Syrup: Return juice to saucepan, add sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 4-5 minutes until slightly reduced. Remove from heat and chill completely in the refrigerator.
- Whip Heavy Cream: Using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a separate bowl.
- Prepare Mascarpone Mixture: Replace whisk with paddle attachment. Add mascarpone cheese, sugar, ¾ cup raspberry syrup, and vanilla to the mixer bowl. Beat on high until combined.
- Incorporate Whipped Cream: Add about one cup of whipped cream and beat until incorporated. Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream by hand.
- Soak Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the raspberry syrup until soaked but not soggy. Arrange in two straight rows of six in an 8-inch square dish to form the base layer.
- First Layer of Filling and Chocolate: Spread half of the mascarpone filling over the ladyfingers. Grate half of the white chocolate evenly over the filling.
- Second Layer: Repeat dipping and layering ladyfingers soaked in raspberry syrup on top of the filling.
- Top Filling and Chocolate: Spread half of the remaining mascarpone filling over the ladyfingers. Pipe the remaining filling evenly over the dessert using a pastry bag or ziplock bag with a corner cut off. Grate the remaining white chocolate on top.
- Chill: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries; ensure frozen are thawed before use.
- Do not oversoak ladyfingers to prevent sogginess; dip briefly.
- Chilling overnight enhances flavors and texture.
- You can use a different high-quality white chocolate if preferred.
- If you do not have a pastry bag, a ziplock bag with a corner cut off works perfectly.
- For easier grating, chill the white chocolate before grating.
