White Chocolate Raspberry Tiramisu

Ingredients

For the Raspberry Layer:
– 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
– 2 tablespoons sugar
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the White Chocolate Cream:
– 8 oz white chocolate, chopped
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup mascarpone cheese
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
For Assembly:
– 1 package ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)
– 1 cup brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
– Cocoa powder or grated white chocolate for dusting
 

Instructions

1. Prepare the Raspberry Layer:
– In a small bowl, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Gently mash the raspberries with a fork to release their juices. Set aside.
2. Make the White Chocolate Cream:
– Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
– In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
– In another bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth.
– Gently fold the melted white chocolate into the mascarpone mixture, then fold in the whipped cream until fully combined.
3. Assemble the Tiramisu:
– Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee or espresso, making sure not to soak them.
– In a rectangular dish, layer half of the dipped ladyfingers on the bottom.
– Spread half of the white chocolate cream over the ladyfingers, followed by half of the raspberry mixture.
– Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers, white chocolate cream, and raspberries.
4. Chill:
– Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
5. Serve:
– Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder or sprinkle with grated white chocolate. Garnish with additional raspberries if desired.
 

Notes

– For a more intense raspberry flavor, you can add raspberry puree between the layers.
– This dessert can be made a day in advance, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
