This Raspberry Tiramisu is a refreshing twist on the classic Italian dessert, featuring layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, creamy mascarpone, and fresh raspberries. It’s an elegant no-bake dessert that’s perfect for any occasion, combining the rich flavors of coffee and mascarpone with the bright tartness of raspberries.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Base:

  • 20 ladyfingers
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled

For the Cream:

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

For the Fruit Layer:

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

For Garnish:

  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coffee Base: Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool to room temperature. This will be used to soak the ladyfingers, infusing them with rich coffee flavor.
  2. Dip the Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy, then arrange them in a single layer in your serving dish.
  3. Make the Mascarpone Mixture: In a bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and sugar, stirring gently until smooth and creamy, ready to be layered onto the ladyfingers.
  4. Layer with Mascarpone: Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone mixture over the coffee-soaked ladyfingers, creating a creamy contrast.
  5. Add Raspberries: Distribute fresh raspberries evenly over the mascarpone layer, adding a burst of tartness and color.
  6. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layers of dipped ladyfingers, mascarpone, and raspberries until ingredients are used, finishing with the mascarpone on top.
  7. Chill the Tiramisu: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder for a classic finish and added depth in flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality mascarpone for the best creamy texture.
  • Quickly dip the ladyfingers to avoid them becoming too soggy.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, you can add a tablespoon of coffee liqueur to the coffee mixture.
  • This dessert is best served chilled and enjoyed within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
  • Substitute fresh raspberries with frozen if out of season, but thaw and drain well before use.
