Description
How to make decadent White Chocolate Raspberry Tiramisu with creamy mascarpone, fresh raspberries, and delicate ladyfingers that’s surprisingly easy to achieve.
Ingredients
Scale
- Creamy Mascarpone Filling:
- 16 ounces mascarpone cheese, chilled
- 2 cups heavy cream, chilled
- 4 large egg yolks
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- Ladyfinger Base & Flavor:
- 30–36 ladyfingers (savoiardi)
- 8 ounces (about 1 ½ cups) fresh raspberries, plus more for garnish
- ½ cup white chocolate, finely chopped
- ½ cup raspberry liqueur (e.g., Chambord) or raspberry syrup
- ½ cup hot water
- For Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons grated white chocolate
- ¼ cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Prep Yolks: Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a heatproof bowl. Cook over simmering water, whisking until thick and pale, reaching 160°F. This creates the base for your dreamy White Chocolate Raspberry Tiramisu filling.
- Mix Mascarpone: Remove yolk mixture from heat, then whisk in vanilla and salt. Gradually fold in the chilled mascarpone cheese until just combined and smooth. Be careful not to overmix, keeping it light.
- Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold this whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated, creating a light, airy filling.
- Prepare Dip: Combine hot water and raspberry liqueur for dipping. Separately, gently melt the chopped white chocolate over a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth. This prepares elements for assembling your White Chocolate Raspberry Tiramisu.
- Melt Chocolate: Allow the melted white chocolate to cool slightly but remain liquid. This will be drizzled into the mascarpone mixture later. Ensure it’s not too hot when adding to prevent splitting the cream.
- Assemble Tiramisu: Quickly dip ladyfingers into the raspberry liqueur mixture and arrange in your dish. Spread half the mascarpone cream, then scatter fresh raspberries and drizzle with half the melted white chocolate. Repeat layers to build your White Chocolate Raspberry Tiramisu.
- Chill & Serve: Cover the assembled White Chocolate Raspberry Tiramisu and chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to set. Garnish with grated white chocolate and fresh raspberries before serving.
