Raspberry Tiramisu

Steps

1. 1Prepare raspberry juice

   Make or prepare 3/4 cup of homemade raspberry juice for dipping the ladyfingers. You can blend fresh raspberries and strain, or use store-bought raspberry juice.

   The juice should be vibrant and tart to balance the sweet mascarpone cream.

2. 2Whip the cream mixture

   In a large bowl, combine 1½ cups heavy cream, 450g mascarpone cheese, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whip together until smooth and fluffy.

   Don't over-whip or the mixture will become grainy. Stop when you reach stiff peaks.

3. 3Add raspberry sauce

   Fold in or swirl homemade raspberry sauce into the whipped mascarpone cream to create the pink raspberry flavor and color.

   Reserve some sauce for topping. You can marble it for a swirl effect or fold completely for even color.

4. 4Dip the ladyfingers

   Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the raspberry juice, coating both sides but not soaking them through. Arrange in a single layer in your serving dish.

   Work quickly so the ladyfingers stay firm but absorb the raspberry flavor.

5. 5Layer the cream

   Spread half of the raspberry mascarpone cream over the first layer of dipped ladyfingers, smoothing into an even layer.

   Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread evenly to the edges.

6. 6Repeat the layers

   Add another layer of raspberry-dipped ladyfingers, then top with the remaining raspberry mascarpone cream, smoothing the surface.

   Make sure the top layer is smooth and even for the best presentation.

   Overnight chilling gives the best texture and flavor. Cut with a sharp knife for clean slices.
