Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces white chocolate, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 24 ladyfingers
- 2 tablespoons raspberry liqueur (optional)
- Cocoa powder for dusting
If you’re unable to find mascarpone, cream cheese can be a substitute, though the texture will be slightly different. For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the raspberry liqueur.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese and sugar until light and creamy.
- Stir in the melted white chocolate and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- In a shallow dish, combine the coffee and raspberry liqueur.
- Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, allowing them to soak briefly, then layer them in a 9×13 inch dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing it into an even layer.
- Scatter half of the raspberries over the mascarpone layer.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and raspberries.
- Dust the top with cocoa powder for a classic finish.
- Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Remember, patience is key! Allowing the tiramisu to rest overnight will enhance the flavors and texture, making it a truly unforgettable experience.
