Raspberry Tiramisu

by

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 3 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 24 to 30 ladyfinger cookies
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions:

  1. In a shallow bowl, combine the brewed coffee and coffee liqueur (if using). Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture briefly, ensuring they are moistened but not soaked.
  2. Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of a serving dish or individual glasses.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with half of the granulated sugar until pale and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mascarpone, beating until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, gradually adding the remaining sugar.
  5. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
  6. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  7. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, creating a light and airy texture.
  8. Spoon a layer of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers in the serving dish.
  9. Sprinkle a handful of fresh raspberries over the mascarpone layer.
  10. Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of mascarpone on top.
  11. Cover and refrigerate the Raspberry Tiramisu for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
  12. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder for a finishing touch.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar to the mascarpone mixture.
