Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Mascarpone Cheese: Look for high-quality mascarpone for a rich and creamy texture that elevates your tiramisu.
- White Chocolate: Choose good quality white chocolate bars; avoid chips as they may not melt evenly.
- Fresh Raspberries: Opt for plump and juicy raspberries; they add a vibrant color and tangy flavor contrast.
- Savoiardi (Ladyfingers): These light sponge cookies soak up flavors perfectly; don’t skimp on quality here!
- Coffee: Brew strong coffee or espresso; it adds depth but doesn’t overpower the delicate flavors.
- Sugar: Granulated sugar sweetens without altering texture; you can adjust according to taste preference.
- Vanilla Extract: Use pure vanilla extract for an aromatic note that enhances all flavors beautifully.
- Cocoa Powder: Unsweetened cocoa powder dusts the top for added elegance and richness without being overly sweet.
The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.
Let’s Make it together
Start by preparing your coffee mixture: Brew about 1 cup of strong coffee or espresso and let it cool slightly. Stir in a tablespoon of sugar until dissolved; this adds sweetness without clashing with other flavors.
Next, melt your white chocolate: Using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts (15 seconds), melt about 8 ounces of white chocolate until smooth. Let it cool slightly before folding into the mascarpone mixture.
Now whip your cream: In a separate bowl, beat about 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. This will give your tiramisu its luscious texture—don’t overdo it!
Combine the mixtures: Gently fold your melted white chocolate into 16 ounces of mascarpone cheese along with a splash of vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Then carefully add in your whipped cream to keep things light and airy.
Dip ladyfingers in coffee: Quickly dip each savoiardi into your cooled coffee mixture—don’t let them soak too long or they’ll become soggy! Layer them at the bottom of your serving dish.
Assemble your tiramisu: Spread half of your mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers, then sprinkle some fresh raspberries on top. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers followed by remaining mascarpone.
Chill before serving: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to let those flavors meld beautifully together. Just before serving, dust with cocoa powder for that classic finish.
Serve up slices: When ready to serve, cut into squares and garnish with extra raspberries or shaved white chocolate if you’re feeling fancy!
And there you have it—a stunning White Chocolate Raspberry Tiramisu that’s sure to impress anyone lucky enough to take a bite! Enjoy every creamy moment while savoring those delightful flavors dancing on your palate.
