Ingredients
Scale
White Chocolate Mascarpone Cream
- 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit and Garnishes
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 cup raspberry puree (made from fresh or frozen raspberries)
- Cocoa powder, for dusting (optional)
Assembly
- 24 ladyfinger cookies
- ¼ cup brewed coffee (optional, for dipping ladyfingers)
Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate: Place the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt it gently over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly while you prepare other components.
- Whip the Cream: Using an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. This typically takes about 3 to 5 minutes; avoid over-whipping to keep it light.
- Combine Mascarpone Mixture: In a separate bowl, blend the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and well combined.
- Fold in White Chocolate: Gently fold the cooled melted white chocolate into the mascarpone mixture, mixing carefully to incorporate without deflating the cream.
- Incorporate Whipped Cream: Slowly fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone and white chocolate mixture, maintaining a light and airy texture.
- Prepare Raspberry Puree: Blend the fresh raspberries until smooth in a blender. For a seed-free puree, strain through a fine sieve. Set aside the puree for layering.
- Dip Ladyfingers: Briefly dip each ladyfinger into brewed coffee if using, ensuring they absorb some liquid but do not become soggy.
- Layer the Tiramisu: Arrange a single layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers in a rectangular dish. Spread an even layer of the white chocolate mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
- Add Raspberry Layer: Drizzle raspberry puree over the mascarpone layer to add a vibrant fruity contrast.
- Repeat Layers: Continue layering ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, and raspberry puree until all ingredients are used. Finish with a final layer of mascarpone cream on top.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
- Serve: Just before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with fresh raspberries for an elegant and colorful presentation.
Notes
- For a smoother raspberry puree, strain to remove seeds.
- Coffee dipping of ladyfingers is optional; skipping coffee gives a fruitier, lighter flavor.
- Chilling overnight enhances flavor blending and texture.
- Use fresh raspberries when possible for best taste and texture.
- Ensure white chocolate is cooled slightly before folding to avoid melting the mascarpone mixture.
