White Chocolate Raspberry Tiramisu recipe


  • Author: Katherine

Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 1 cup heavy cream: This adds richness and a light, fluffy texture to the mascarpone layer.
  • 8 oz white chocolate, melted: For a creamy sweetness that pairs perfectly with the tang of the raspberries.
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese: This Italian cheese is crucial for achieving the traditional tiramisu texture and flavor.
  • 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen): These provide a bright, tart contrast to the sweetness of the cream and chocolate.
  • 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled): Choose a medium or strong brew to infuse the ladyfingers with depth.
  • 1 cup cocoa powder: For dusting, adding a subtle bitterness that balances the flavors.
  • 1 package ladyfinger cookies: The classic base of tiramisu, soaking up the coffee and providing structure.
  • 2 tbsp vanilla extract: Enhances the overall flavor profile with warm, aromatic notes.
  • Optional: mint leaves for garnish: These add a touch of color and a refreshing aroma to the presentation.

Instructions

 

  1. Whip the Cream: In a bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This will create a light and airy texture essential for the tiramisu’s cream filling. Be careful not to over-whip, as this can lead to a grainy texture.
  2. Prepare the Cream Mixture: Gently fold the melted white chocolate and mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream. Mix until smooth, ensuring the ingredients are well incorporated for a silky, rich consistency. This step is crucial as it determines the creaminess of your tiramisu.
  3. Brew the Coffee: In a shallow dish, combine the cooled brewed coffee with vanilla extract. This aromatic mixture will infuse the ladyfingers with a pleasant hint of coffee flavor. Let it sit for a few minutes to deepen the flavor.
  4. Layer the Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not overly saturated. Arrange a layer of the dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of your chosen dish. If the ladyfingers are too soggy, they may break apart.
  5. Add the First Cream Layer: Spread half of the white chocolate mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers. Use a spatula to create an even layer for a uniform appearance, helping the layers stay distinct and beautiful.
  6. Layer the Raspberries: Distribute half of the raspberries over the cream layer. The vibrant berries will add pops of color and a refreshing tartness to the dessert. Gently press them into the cream to ensure they stay in place.
  7. Repeat the Layers: Place another layer of dipped ladyfingers over the raspberries. Follow with the remaining white chocolate mascarpone mixture and the rest of the raspberries, ensuring that the final layer is a generous spread of cream.
  8. Dust with Cocoa Powder: Generously dust the top with cocoa powder. This classic tiramisu touch adds a hint of chocolate bitterness that balances the sweetness of the dessert. Use a fine-mesh sieve for an even distribution.
  9. Refrigerate: Allow the tiramisu to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This step is crucial for the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly, allowing the ladyfingers to absorb the cream and coffee.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, optionally garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added touch of elegance and a burst of color. This not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a fragrant note to the dessert.
