Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 24 ladyfinger cookies
  • 1 cup cooled espresso or strong coffee
  • cocoa powder for garnish
  • fresh raspberries for garnish
  • white chocolate shavings (optional)

Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • electric mixer
  • small bowl
  • rubber spatula
  • 9x9-inch baking dish

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, gently mash 1 cup of raspberries with sugar and lemon juice until slightly juicy. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  3. In another bowl, mix mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream until creamy and fluffy.
  4. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso for 1–2 seconds and arrange a layer in the bottom of a 9x9-inch dish.
  5. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Spoon half of the raspberry mixture on top.
  6. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, and raspberries.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, for the best texture.
  8. Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and garnish with fresh raspberries and white chocolate shavings.

Notes

Do not soak the ladyfingers too long or they may become soggy. Chill overnight for the best texture and cleaner slices. Fresh raspberries provide the brightest flavor, but thawed frozen raspberries may also be used if drained well. For a caffeine-free version, substitute espresso with berry tea or milk.
