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

Raspberry Layer

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 cup raspberry puree (made from fresh or frozen raspberries)

Other Ingredients

  • 24 ladyfinger cookies
  • ¼ cup brewed coffee (optional)
  • Cocoa powder, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt the White Chocolate: Place the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt it gently over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly so it doesn’t curdle the mascarpone mixture.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. This adds lightness to the rich mascarpone filling.
  3. Combine Mascarpone Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended to create the creamy base.
  4. Fold in White Chocolate: Carefully fold the cooled melted white chocolate into the mascarpone mixture, ensuring a uniform creamy texture without overmixing.
  5. Incorporate Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone and white chocolate mix, keeping the mixture light and airy to achieve the perfect tiramisu texture.
  6. Prepare Raspberry Puree: Blend fresh raspberries until smooth. For a seedless texture, strain the puree through a fine sieve. Set aside this vibrant fruity layer.
  7. Dip Ladyfingers: Briefly dip each ladyfinger into brewed coffee if using, just enough to moisten but not soak them to maintain structure during layering.
  8. Layer the Tiramisu: Place a single layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of a rectangular dish. Spread an even layer of the white chocolate mascarpone cream over them.
  9. Add Raspberry Puree: Drizzle a layer of raspberry puree evenly over the mascarpone layer to add a fresh tangy contrast.
  10. Repeat Layers: Continue layering with dipped ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, and raspberry puree until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of mascarpone cream on top.
  11. Chill: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the dessert to set firmly.
  12. Serve: Just before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder and garnish with fresh raspberries for a beautiful presentation and extra burst of flavor.

Notes

  • For a seedless raspberry puree, be sure to strain through a fine mesh sieve.
  • Dipping ladyfingers quickly prevents sogginess and maintains the dessert’s texture.
  • This dessert can be made a day ahead to enhance flavors.
  • Use good quality white chocolate and fresh mascarpone for best taste and texture.
  • Optional coffee can be omitted for a non-coffee flavor profile, making it kid-friendly.
