Step-by-step instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and sugar together until soft peaks form.
2. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese and melted white chocolate until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. In another bowl, combine the cooled coffee and coffee liqueur, if you choose to use it.
4. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture; remember not to soak them too long to avoid sogginess.
5. Lay half of the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a serving dish.
6. Spread half of the mascarpone and white chocolate mixture over the ladyfingers.
7. Top with half of the fresh raspberries, distributing them evenly.
8. Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers, cream mixture, and raspberries.
9. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours—or better yet, overnight—to let the flavors meld together.
10. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder for an elegant finish.

Best ways to enjoy it

To serve Raspberry White Chocolate Dream Tiramisu, consider adding a sprig of mint for garnish, which will add a pop of color and freshness. If you’re feeling extra creative, you could drizzle some more melted white chocolate over the top. Pair it with a cup of your favorite coffee or tea to complement the dessert’s rich flavors. This dessert is also lovely with a side of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence!

The best way to save extras

If you have leftovers (which is not always likely with this dessert!), be sure to cover the tiramisu tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container to keep it fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze portions, but I recommend doing so without the cocoa powder dusting. To enjoy it after freezing, thaw it in the fridge overnight and add the cocoa powder just before serving.

Helpful cooking tips

• Use a chilled mixing bowl when whipping the cream; it helps to achieve better peaks.
• Don’t skip the chilling time; letting the tiramisu rest allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
• If you’re short on time, consider preparing the dessert in small individual jars instead of one large dish for quicker assembly and easier serving.
