Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 24 ladyfinger cookies
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
Instructions
- Wash and prepare the mixed berries by gently rinsing them under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels and slice larger berries like strawberries into smaller pieces. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture on medium-high speed until smooth and soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
- Brew coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature. Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow dish suitable for dipping ladyfingers.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger cookie into the coffee, ensuring they are lightly saturated but not soggy. Arrange the first layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x13 inch serving dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the first layer of ladyfingers, ensuring complete coverage.
- Sprinkle half of the mixed berries over the cream layer, distributing them evenly.
- Repeat the process with another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone cream and berries.
- Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and dessert to set.
- Before serving, garnish with additional fresh berries and optionally dust with powdered sugar or cocoa powder.
- Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the perfect blend of coffee-soaked cookies, creamy mascarpone, and fresh summer berries.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Berries: Opt for ripe, fresh mixed berries for the best flavor and presentation. Feel free to mix and match your favorites!
- Whip Cream to Perfection: When whipping the heavy cream, be careful not to over-whip it. You want soft peaks that will blend beautifully with the mascarpone.
- Coffee Dipping Technique: Dip the ladyfingers quickly in the cooled coffee to avoid them becoming too soggy. A light saturation will give you the perfect texture.
- Layering Matters: Ensure each layer of mascarpone and berries is evenly spread for a beautiful presentation and balanced flavor in every bite.
- Chill Time is Key: Allow the tiramisu to chill for at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better! This resting time lets the flavors meld together beautifully.
- Garnish for Flair: Just before serving, add a sprinkle of powdered sugar or cocoa powder and a few extra berries on top for a stunning finish.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra touch, pair your tiramisu with a glass of dessert wine or a strong espresso to complement the sweet and creamy flavors.
