Ingredients
Scale
- 500g frozen raspberries – for making the jam
- 100g granulated sugar – sweetens the raspberry jam
- 1 tbsp lemon juice – brightens the jam flavor
- 100g granulated sugar – for raspberry syrup
- 120g water – base for raspberry syrup
- 30g frozen raspberries – for raspberry syrup flavor
- 3 tbsp limoncello (optional) – adds citrus depth to the syrup
- 450g cold mascarpone cheese – creamy tiramisu base
- 120g powdered sugar – sweetens the mascarpone filling
- 2 tbsp lemon juice – enhances filling brightness
- 1 tsp vanilla paste – flavor depth in the cream
- 480g cold heavy cream – whipped into the mascarpone mixture
- 25 ladyfinger cookies – soaked and layered
- Fresh raspberries – optional garnish
- Lemon slices – optional garnish
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine 500g frozen raspberries, 100g sugar, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Heat until bubbling, then simmer for 23–25 minutes. Let cool in a shallow bowl in the fridge.
- In another saucepan, combine 100g sugar, 120g water, and 30g raspberries. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 3 minutes. Strain and stir in 3 tbsp limoncello (optional). Let cool.
- In a bowl, mix 450g mascarpone, 120g powdered sugar, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp vanilla paste for 30 seconds. Add 480g heavy cream and whip to medium-stiff peaks.
- Spread a thin layer of mascarpone cream in a baking dish (approx. 27×20 cm or 23×23 cm).
- Dip each ladyfinger into raspberry syrup twice. Place in a single layer over cream.
- Top with half of the mascarpone mixture, spread evenly.
- Spread half the raspberry jam evenly over the cream layer.
- Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and mascarpone cream. Reserve remaining jam.
- Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, spread the remaining raspberry jam on top and garnish with fresh raspberries and lemon slices if desired.
Notes
- Do not overwhip the heavy cream – medium-stiff peaks are ideal.
- Make sure the raspberry syrup and jam are fully cooled before assembling.
- For best flavor, let the tiramisu rest overnight in the fridge.
- Limoncello is optional but adds a lovely citrus note.
- Use a glass dish for a beautiful presentation of layers.
