How to Make Fresh Raspberry Tiramisu

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Frozen Raspberries (thawed)
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (fresh)
  • 1 cup Mascarpone Cheese (do not substitute)
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar (confectioners’ sugar)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream (cold)
  • 24 pieces Ladyfinger Cookies (or sponge cake)
  • 1/2 cup Raspberry Syrup (for dipping)
  • 1 cup Fresh Raspberries (for decoration)

Directions

  1. Prepare Raspberry Jam: In a small pot, combine 2 cups of thawed raspberries and 1 cup of granulated sugar over medium heat. Cook until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and set aside to cool.

  2. Make Raspberry Syrup: In a small saucepan, mix 1/2 cup of the raspberry jam with a little water to thin it out. Heat until warm, then remove from heat and let cool.

  3. Make Mascarpone Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of mascarpone cheese with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. In another bowl, whip 1 cup of cold heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until smooth.

  4. Assemble Tiramisu: Dip each ladyfinger cookie in the raspberry syrup quickly, then layer them in a dish. Spread a layer of the mascarpone filling over the ladyfingers. Repeat layers until you run out of ingredients, finishing with the mascarpone layer.

  5. Chill and Serve: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, top with fresh raspberries for decoration.

How to Serve Fresh Raspberry Tiramisu

Serve your Fresh Raspberry Tiramisu chilled. Cut into squares or scoop into bowls. Add a few fresh raspberries on top for a beautiful presentation. Enjoy it as a light dessert after dinner or as a treat at parties.

How to Store Fresh Raspberry Tiramisu

Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap to maintain freshness. It’s best enjoyed within 2-3 days, but it can last up to a week if stored properly.

Tips to Make Fresh Raspberry Tiramisu

  • Use fresh raspberries when in season for the best flavor.
  • Make the raspberry jam ahead of time and store it in the fridge for easier preparation.
  • Ensure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping to achieve the best volume and texture.

Variation

For a chocolatey twist, add cocoa powder to the mascarpone filling or sprinkle cocoa powder between the layers. You can also substitute the raspberries with strawberries or blueberries for a different fruity flavor.

FAQs

  1. Can I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen?
    Yes, you can use fresh raspberries. Just make sure they are ripe and sweet.

  2. Is it necessary to refrigerate the tiramisu?
    Yes, refrigerating helps set the tiramisu and enhance the flavors.

  3. Can I make this ahead of time?
    Absolutely! Tiramisu is perfect for making a day in advance, as it allows the flavors to meld together.
