Raspberry Tiramisu Layers (Print)

Espresso-soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone, tart raspberries and a hint of fruitiness make this cool, fruity layered delight.

# Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
02 - 2 tablespoons raspberry liqueur
03 - 200 g ladyfingers
04 - 180 ml espresso (chilled after brewing)
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 60 g icing sugar
07 - 200 ml double cream
08 - 250 g mascarpone
09 - 300 g raspberries, fresh

# Steps:

01 - Chill it before you dig in and toss on a few extra raspberries if you like.
02 - Grab your sieve, shake cocoa all over the top just before dishing it up.
03 - Pop on some cling film and let it sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight, so everything blends together and gets a nice firm texture.
04 - Pile on another round of espresso-soaked ladyfingers, then the rest of your mascarpone cream and the last bit of raspberry mix.
05 - Drop half your smashed raspberry blend over that mascarpone layer and spread it out gently using the back side of a spoon.
06 - Put half your whipped mascarpone stuff right over the ladyfingers and smooth it flat with your spatula.
07 - Cover the bottom of a rectangle dish completely using ladyfingers dipped in espresso.
08 - Briefly dunk each ladyfinger in your cooled espresso. Don't let them soak too long so they keep some bite.
09 - Turn your hand mixer to medium and beat the mascarpone combo two or three minutes, stopping when it's thick and holds a peak.
10 - Mix together mascarpone, cream, icing sugar, and vanilla until it’s all smooth and fluffy in a big bowl.
11 - Mash up your raspberries with the raspberry liqueur in a medium bowl using a fork, but don’t squish them all—leave some bits whole for texture.

# Notes:

01 - Beat the mascarpone mix well to keep it extra smooth and creamy.
02 - Quick dips for the ladyfingers are best. If you soak them too long, they'll just fall apart.
03 - You can swap out the liqueur for raspberry syrup to skip the alcohol.
04 - Toss a little lemon zest in your filling if you want a zippy twist.
05 - Letting it chill overnight makes the flavors really come out and the layers hold nicely.
