Ingredients
Raspberry Jam
-
500 g frozen raspberries
-
100 g granulated sugar
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
Raspberry Syrup
-
100 g granulated sugar
-
120 g water
-
30 g frozen raspberries
-
3 tbsp limoncello (optional)
Mascarpone Filling
-
450 g cold mascarpone cheese
-
120 g powdered sugar
-
2 tbsp lemon juice
-
1 tsp vanilla paste
-
480 g (500 ml) cold heavy cream
To Assemble
-
25 ladyfinger cookies (approximate, depending on pan size)
-
Fresh raspberries and lemon slices (for decoration)
Instructions
Make the Raspberry Jam:
-
Combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Heat until raspberries break down and begin to bubble.
-
Simmer for 23–25 minutes, mashing occasionally until thickened. Test by drawing a line through the jam on the back of a spoon—if it holds, it’s ready.
-
Cool in a shallow bowl in the fridge, covered.
Make the Raspberry Syrup:
-
Boil sugar, water, and raspberries in a small saucepan until sugar dissolves. Simmer for 3 minutes, mashing berries.
-
Strain and discard solids. Stir in limoncello. Cool to room temperature.
Prepare the Mascarpone Filling:
-
Beat mascarpone, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla until just combined.
-
Add heavy cream and whip to medium-stiff peaks.
Assemble the Tiramisu:
-
Spread a thin layer of mascarpone filling in the base of a 27×20 cm or 23×23 cm dish.
-
Dip ladyfingers twice in raspberry syrup and arrange in a layer.
-
Spread half the mascarpone mixture, then half the raspberry jam. Repeat with another layer of ladyfingers and mascarpone (reserve the rest of the jam for topping).
-
Cover and chill for at least 8 hours or overnight.
To Serve:
Top with the remaining raspberry jam, and decorate with fresh raspberries and lemon slices.
Notes
-
Tiramisu is best after chilling overnight for full flavor and structure.
-
Substitute limoncello with lemon juice for a non-alcoholic version.
-
Jam and syrup must be completely cooled before use to avoid melting the filling.
