Description
Lusciously creamy layers of raspberry mascarpone filling, raspberry syrup-soaked ladyfingers, and grated white chocolate make this White Chocolate Raspberry Tiramisu the perfect romantic or indulgent dessert.
Ingredients
Raspberry Syrup:
- 4 cups raspberries, fresh or frozen
- ½ cup water
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Mascarpone Filling:
- 1 ½ cup heavy cream
- 16 ounces mascarpone cheese
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup raspberry syrup (from recipe above)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
For Assembly:
- 1 (7 oz) package Savoiardi ladyfingers (about 24)
- 1 ounce good-quality white chocolate (such as Lindt)
Instructions
1. Make the Raspberry Syrup: Place raspberries and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Mash the berries and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
2. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract juice. Discard seeds.
3. Return the raspberry juice to the pan, add sugar and lemon juice, and simmer for 4–5 minutes to reduce slightly. Chill completely.
4. Make the Filling: Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, combine mascarpone, sugar, 3/4 cup raspberry syrup, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
5. Add 1 cup whipped cream to the mascarpone mixture and beat until incorporated. Fold in remaining whipped cream gently.
6. Assemble the Tiramisu: Dip ladyfingers in raspberry syrup one at a time and layer them in an 8-inch square dish.
7. Spread half the mascarpone filling over the ladyfingers. Grate half of the white chocolate on top.
8. Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers. Spread most of the remaining filling on top.
9. Transfer the last portion of filling to a piping bag and pipe over the top layer. Grate the remaining white chocolate over the dessert.
10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
Notes
You should get about 2 cups of raspberry syrup; use extra syrup to drizzle on the ladyfingers if desired. Cut ladyfingers after soaking for easier handling. Chill the tiramisu overnight for best flavor and texture. This dessert is ideal for make-ahead entertaining.
