Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) fresh raspberries, washed and patted dry
  • 24 ladyfingers (Savoiardi), about 7 oz (200g)
  • 8 oz (225g) mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120g) small-curd cottage cheese, blended until smooth
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) raspberry liqueur or juice (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the raspberry syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup (150g) fresh raspberries with 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar and 1/4 cup (60ml) water. Simmer gently for 5 minutes until berries break down and syrup thickens slightly. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Let cool completely.
  2. Blend the cottage cheese: Place 1/2 cup (120g) small-curd cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth.
  3. Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, whip 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy cream with 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  4. Make the mascarpone mixture: Fold the smooth cottage cheese into the mascarpone cheese until combined. Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  5. Assemble the tiramisu: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled raspberry syrup or raspberry liqueur mixture for 1-2 seconds per side. Lay half the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of your baking dish.
  6. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
  7. Scatter half of the fresh raspberries over the cream layer.
  8. Repeat layering with the remaining soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and raspberries.
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let flavors meld and the dessert set.
  10. Before serving, dust the top lightly with powdered sugar.

Notes

Dip ladyfingers quickly (1-2 seconds per side) to avoid sogginess. Blend cottage cheese until smooth for creamy texture. Whip cream to soft peaks only to prevent graininess. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor. Variations include using mixed berries, dairy-free substitutes, or adding chocolate layers.
