Raspberry Tiramisu

Ingredients

Tiramisu

250 grams (8.80 ounces) raspberries for sauce
200 grams (7.05 ounces) raspberries for decoration
250 grams (8.80 ounces) mascarpone
250 milliliters (1 cup) cream 33%
350 grams (12.35 ounces) savoiardi biscuits
80 grams (2.82 ounces) powdered sugar
50 grams (1.76 ounces) sugar
1 sachet (about 10 grams or 0.35 ounces) vanilla sugar
125 milliliters (0.5 cup) water

Equipment

Small Saucepan
Ideal for blending raspberries and sugar. Make sure it’s non-stick to avoid any burnt spots.
Blender
Use it for a smooth raspberry sauce that’s seed-free. A handheld blender works too!
Sieve
Perfect for straining the raspberry sauce to get rid of the seeds. A fine mesh sieve will yield the best results.
Whisk or Electric Mixer
To achieve the fluffiest crème, an electric mixer saves time, but a whisk works if you’re patient and strong!
Ring Mold (20 cm in diameter)
This helps to shape your tiramisu perfectly. If you don’t have one, a springform pan can be a good substitute.

Instructions

Step 1

If you haven’t tried making a summer dessert yet, this tiramisu is perfect! Packed with the rich flavor of raspberries and a delicate crème, it’s quick and easy to make, with no baking required.

Step 2

Combine 250 grams (8.80 ounces) of raspberries, 125 milliliters (0.5 cup) water, 50 grams (1.76 ounces) sugar, and 1 sachet (about 10 grams or 0.35 ounces) of vanilla sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stirring helps to prevent the sugar from burning and ensures an even mixture. Remove from heat and let it cool. Then blend the mixture and strain it through a sieve to remove seeds. Blending and sieving help to achieve a smooth sauce without seed bits.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whip 250 grams (8.80 ounces) mascarpone, 250 milliliters (1 cup) chilled cream, and 80 grams (2.82 ounces) powdered sugar until the mixture forms stiff peaks. Make sure the cream is very cold before whipping to achieve a better consistency.

Step 4

Line a 20 cm (7.9 inch) ring mold with savoiardi biscuits, pre-dipping them in the raspberry sauce. Fill in any voids with small pieces of savoiardi, also pre-dipped in the sauce. Dipping the biscuits in the sauce ensures they absorb the flavor and stay moist.

Step 5

Spread half of the whipped crème mixture over the layer of savoiardi. Then add another layer of savoiardi dipped in raspberry sauce and the remaining crème mixture.

Step 6

Place the tiramisu in the fridge for 3 to 4 hours to set. Letting it set for a few hours helps the flavors meld together and gives a better texture.

Step 7

Remove the tiramisu from the ring mold and decorate with the remaining 200 grams (7.05 ounces) raspberries on top and sides. Enjoy your delicious, no-bake raspberry tiramisu! Bon Appetit!

Faq

Why is my cream not getting fluffy?
The cream needs to be chilled. Also, use a high-fat content cream (at least 33%). An electric mixer can also help achieve a fluffier consistency.
Can I use frozen raspberries?
Yes, but make sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess water before using them to avoid a runny sauce.
How far in advance can I make this tiramisu?
It can be made up to 2 days in advance. Just keep it well-covered in the fridge to maintain freshness.
Can I substitute the mascarpone?
If you don’t have mascarpone, you can use cream cheese, though it will alter the taste slightly.
How do I get even layers in the tiramisu?
Use a ring mold or a springform pan and ensure your layers are even by smoothing them with a spatula.
Can I add alcohol to this recipe?
Absolutely! A splash of raspberry liqueur or even a bit of rum can add an extra layer of flavor. Just add it to the raspberry sauce.
