Raspberry Tiramisu Delight (Printable Version)

Layers of creamy mascarpone, raspberry syrup, and lady fingers with fresh raspberries and white chocolate.

# What You'll Need:

→ Raspberry Syrup

01 - 2 cups water
02 - 1 cup fresh raspberries
03 - 1 cup granulated sugar

→ Mascarpone Cheese Filling

04 - 2 cups heavy whipping cream, very cold
05 - 16 ounces mascarpone cheese, room temperature
06 - ½ cup granulated sugar
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Assembly

08 - 36 to 42 ladyfinger cookies (18-21 per layer), adjusted to dish size
09 - 2 cups seedless raspberry preserves
10 - 1 ounce grated white chocolate bar (Lindt brand suggested)
11 - 3 to 4 cups fresh raspberries for garnish

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine water, fresh raspberries, and granulated sugar. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 3-4 minutes until raspberries release juice and sugar dissolves.
02 - Remove from heat and strain syrup through a mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds. Discard seeds and allow syrup to cool.
03 - Using a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat very cold heavy cream starting on low then increasing to high speed for 3-4 minutes until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
04 - In a separate bowl, beat mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.
05 - Gently fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture in portions to maintain light, airy texture, avoiding overmixing.
06 - Dip ladyfinger cookies briefly into cooled raspberry syrup and arrange in an even layer at the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish. Break cookies if necessary to fit.
07 - Spread 1 cup seedless raspberry preserves evenly over the ladyfinger layer, then spread half of the mascarpone filling on top without mixing layers.
08 - Repeat dipping and layering ladyfinger cookies to form a second layer, followed by remaining 1 cup raspberry preserves and remaining mascarpone filling, spread evenly.
09 - Sprinkle the top layer evenly with grated white chocolate shavings.
10 - Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow ladyfingers to soften and flavors to meld.
11 - Remove from refrigerator and arrange fresh raspberries on top in rows. Optionally, sprinkle an additional 1-2 tablespoons of white chocolate shavings for garnish.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Chilling overnight improves texture by softening ladyfingers and intensifying flavors.
