- 1.5 cups (200 g) fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
- 8 oz (225 g) mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, cold
- 4 oz (115 g) white chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
- 0.5 cup (120 ml) raspberry liqueur or raspberry juice
- 0.5 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- White chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Raspberry Syrup Preparation: Generate a vibrant raspberry syrup by gently heating water and sugar, then incorporating raspberry liqueur. Cool the mixture to ambient temperature, allowing the fruity essence to develop fully.
- Mascarpone Base Creation: Whip mascarpone until silky smooth, establishing a luxurious foundation for the dessert’s creamy profile.
- Cream Elevation: Combine heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla, whisking until billowy peaks form, capturing delicate air pockets that will contribute to the dessert’s light texture.
- Flavor Fusion: Seamlessly blend whipped cream into mascarpone, then fold in melted white chocolate, ensuring a uniform, velvety consistency without compromising the mixture’s airy structure.
- Ladyfinger Preparation: Briefly immerse ladyfingers in the prepared raspberry syrup, achieving a light, even saturation that maintains structural integrity.
- Layer Assembly: Artfully construct the first tier by arranging syrup-infused ladyfingers across the base of the serving vessel, creating a solid foundation for subsequent layers.
- Cream Application: Generously spread half the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, establishing a smooth, creamy canvas that will showcase the dessert’s elegant composition.
- Raspberry Embellishment: Strategically scatter fresh raspberries across the cream layer, introducing vibrant bursts of natural sweetness and visual appeal.
- Final Layering: Repeat the architectural process, carefully building a second tier with remaining ladyfingers, mascarpone filling, and fresh raspberries, ensuring a balanced and harmonious composition.
- Chilling and Setting: Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing flavors to meld and the dessert to achieve an optimal set and consistency.
- Garnish and Presentation: Before serving, adorn the tiramisu with additional fresh raspberries and delicate white chocolate shavings, elevating the dessert to a stunning culinary masterpiece that delights both the palate and the eye.
Notes
- Prevent Soggy Ladyfingers: Dip ladyfingers quickly in raspberry syrup, ensuring light and even coating to maintain their delicate texture and prevent waterlogging.
- Maintain Cream Consistency: Fold white chocolate and whipped cream gently into mascarpone to preserve airy structure and prevent deflation, creating a luxurious, smooth mixture.
- Optimize Chilling Time: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing flavors to meld and develop complex taste profile while helping layers set properly.
- Customize Dietary Needs: Substitute ladyfingers with gluten-free alternatives or use dairy-free mascarpone for those with dietary restrictions, maintaining the dessert’s elegant essence.
