Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 24 ladyfinger cookies
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
- In a separate clean bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, creating a light and creamy filling.
- Prepare the cooled coffee in a shallow dish. Briefly dip each ladyfinger cookie into the coffee, ensuring they are moistened but not soaked through.
- Arrange a layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x13 inch serving dish, creating an even base.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers, ensuring complete coverage.
- Scatter half of the fresh raspberries over the cream layer, distributing them evenly.
- Repeat the process with another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone cream.
- Top the final cream layer with the remaining fresh raspberries.
- Cover the tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and set.
- Before serving, dust the top generously with cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve.
- Slice and serve chilled, garnishing with additional fresh raspberries if desired.
Tips
- Use room temperature mascarpone and whip it thoroughly to ensure a smooth, lump-free cream.
- When dipping ladyfingers, do so quickly - a brief 1-2 second dip prevents them from becoming soggy.
- For the fluffiest cream, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff, but not dry, peaks.
- Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the most intense flavor and beautiful presentation.
- Allow the tiramisu to set in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to develop full flavor complexity.
- For a professional finish, use a fine mesh sieve when dusting cocoa powder to create an even, delicate coating.
- If you want to make this dessert ahead of time, it can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and keeps well in the refrigerator.
- For a non-alcoholic version, you can use decaf coffee or even a coffee-flavored syrup.
