Ingredients
Scale
Dairy:
- 2 cups mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream (whipping cream)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate, melted
- 1/4 cup milk
Fruit and Flavor:
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup raspberry liqueur
- 2 tbsp raspberry jam
Dry and Liquid Ingredients:
- 24 ladyfinger cookies
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup water
Garnish:
- 1/4 cup white chocolate shavings
- 1/4 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
- Separate egg yolks and whites into two distinct mixing bowls, preparing for a delicate whipping process.
- Whisk egg yolks with granulated sugar until the mixture transforms into a pale, creamy consistency, creating a smooth base.
- Gently fold melted white chocolate into the egg yolk mixture, ensuring a uniform and glossy texture.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, creating a light and airy foundation.
- Blend mascarpone cheese into the white chocolate mixture, stirring until completely incorporated and silky.
- Carefully fold whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, maintaining the delicate airiness of the cream.
- Combine raspberry liqueur, water, and milk in a shallow dish for cookie soaking.
- Quickly dip ladyfinger cookies into the liquid mixture, ensuring they are moistened but not saturated.
- Layer the soaked ladyfingers in a rectangular serving dish, creating the first foundation of the dessert.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfinger layer, creating a smooth surface.
- Scatter fresh raspberries across the cream layer, distributing them generously.
- Warm raspberry jam slightly and drizzle over the raspberries for additional flavor intensity.
- Repeat layering process with remaining soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
- Refrigerate the tiramisu for minimum 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld.
- Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and garnish with white chocolate shavings and fresh raspberries.
Notes
- Ensure egg yolks and sugar are whisked at room temperature for smoother, creamier texture.
- Select ripe, firm raspberries to prevent mushiness and maintain structural integrity in the dessert.
- Replace raspberry liqueur with orange juice for a non-alcoholic version that maintains fruity depth.
- Gently press ladyfingers into soaking liquid to prevent oversaturation, which can create soggy layers.
