Raspberry Confit
Instructions
Step 1
Begin by whipping *heavy cream* until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer. Ensure the cream is well-chilled for the best results.
In a separate bowl, mix *mascarpone cheese* and *powdered sugar* using the mixer until smooth. Gradually incorporate the whipped cream into the sweetened mascarpone, folding gently until well combined. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.
Step 2
In a saucepan, gently heat the *raspberry puree* until it begins to simmer. Mix together the *sugar* and *cornstarch* in a small bowl, then sprinkle this mixture over the puree.
Stir continuously until the mixture thickens, which should take about 3-4 minutes. Allow the confit to cool before using in your dessert.
Step 3
Dip each *Savoiardi biscuit* lightly into the *strong coffee*, ensuring they are soaked but not overly saturated.
In *square dessert cups*, layer soaked biscuits, a generous layer of prepared cream, and a spoonful of raspberry confit. Repeat the layers, finishing with a cream layer on top.
*Decorate* as desired—sprinkle with cocoa powder, fresh raspberries, or chocolate shavings. Let the tiramisu chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for optimal flavor infusion.
Servings
The Raspberry Tiramisu is not just a dessert; it's a *celebration* in a glass! 💃 Place the square servings on a decorative tray, and sprinkle a light dusting of cocoa or grated dark chocolate on top just before serving to enhance both aroma and taste. For a touch of elegance, add a few fresh raspberries and a mint leaf as a garnish. 🍫✨
If you're feeling extra festive, pair each dessert glass with a finely crafted espresso or a silky-smooth dessert wine. This duo not only complements the rich flavors of the Tiramisu but also turns every bite into a luxurious experience. 🍮🍷
Hosting a brunch? This Tiramisu makes an excellent treat alongside a fresh fruit platter. The vibrant colors of the fruits juxtaposed with the lush creaminess of the Tiramisu will definitely grab everyone's attention — and their taste buds! 🍍🥂
Equipment
These stylish glasses not only make your Tiramisu look incredibly elegant but also provide the perfect portion size. Tip: Chill them before assembling to keep your dessert perfectly cool. 🍽️
Essential for achieving the perfect creamy mascarpone mixture and whipped cream. A handheld mixer will work, but a stand mixer can make the job easier. ⚡

Need a vegan alternative? 🥥🌱 Transform this dessert by using coconut cream instead of traditional cream, along with a vegan mascarpone substitute made from cashews or tofu. Replace the Savoiardi with vegan-friendly ladyfingers, and you’re good to go!
Faq
- Why are my whipped cream peaks not forming?
Make sure your cream is cold and not over-beaten. Try chilling your mixer attachments before starting as well.
- Can I use a different berry for the confit?
Absolutely! Blueberries or strawberries can be great alternatives, offering a similar sweetness and acidity.
- What's the best way to soak the Savoiardi biscuits?
Dip them quickly into the coffee to prevent sogginess. You want them moist but not falling apart!
- Can I make the dessert ahead of time?
Yes, it's actually better if the Tiramisu sits in the fridge for a few hours or overnight to set and enhance the flavors.
- How do I ensure my mascarpone mixture is smooth?
Ensure your mascarpone is at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps. Using an electric mixer also helps.
- Is it possible to add a liquor to the recipe?
Indeed! A splash of coffee liqueur or rum can add an exciting depth of flavor. Mix it into the coffee used for soaking the biscuits.
