- 1 ½ cups (360 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
- 4 ounces (113 grams) white chocolate (melted and cooled)
- ½ cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
Ladyfingers and Soaking Liquid:
- 24 ladyfingers (savoiardi)
- 1 ½ cups (360 milliliters) raspberry juice or raspberry liqueur

- 2 cups (300 grams) fresh raspberries
- 2 ounces (57 grams) white chocolate (shaved or grated)
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
- Fresh raspberries (optional)
- Mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the delicate mascarpone cream by whisking heavy whipping cream until it forms luxurious stiff peaks, then set aside in a cool location.
- In a separate mixing vessel, blend mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until velvety smooth, creating a silky base for the dessert.
- Gently incorporate melted white chocolate into the mascarpone mixture, ensuring a consistent and creamy texture.
- Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone blend, creating a light and airy filling that will provide a delectable layer in the tiramisu.
- Quickly immerse each ladyfinger into raspberry juice or liqueur, taking care to moisten without oversaturating the delicate cookies.
- Construct the first layer by arranging the soaked ladyfingers along the bottom of a serving dish, creating a uniform base for the dessert.
- Spread half of the prepared mascarpone cream evenly over the ladyfinger foundation, ensuring complete coverage.
- Distribute fresh raspberries across the cream layer, creating pockets of vibrant fruity flavor.
- Repeat the layering process with another set of soaked ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone cream and a second layer of fresh raspberries.
- Carefully seal the dessert and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing the flavors to harmonize and the texture to set perfectly.
- Prior to serving, embellish the tiramisu with delicate shavings of white chocolate and optional fresh raspberries and mint leaves for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Prevent Soggy Ladyfingers by quickly dipping them in raspberry juice or liqueur, allowing just a brief moment of contact to maintain their delicate texture.
- Achieve Smooth Filling by ensuring mascarpone cheese is at room temperature before mixing, which helps create a silky, lump-free cream.
- Customize Flavor Intensity by adjusting the amount of white chocolate and raspberry liqueur to suit personal taste preferences.
- Make Ahead Friendly as this dessert actually improves when chilled overnight, allowing flavors to develop and layers to set perfectly.
