Description
A refreshing twist on classic tiramisu featuring creamy white chocolate, tart raspberries, and crunchy pistachios.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted if lumpy
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped and ready to melt
- 1 cup brewed espresso or very strong coffee, cooled to room temp
- 1/4 cup coffee liqueur (optional)
- 1 package ladyfingers (about 24–30), store-bought
- 1 cup fresh raspberries, whole or halved as needed
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
- Extra raspberries and chopped pistachios for the top
Instructions
- Chill a mixing bowl and beaters. Set out a shallow dish for the coffee dip.
- In a large bowl, beat mascarpone, cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-20 second bursts until mostly melted. Let cool slightly.
- Gently fold the cooled melted white chocolate into the mascarpone mixture.
- In the shallow dish, combine cooled espresso (and coffee liqueur if using).
- Dip each ladyfinger for about 1 second per side. Arrange dipped ladyfingers in your glass dish.
- Spread about one-third of the white chocolate cream over the ladyfingers. Add fresh raspberries and chopped pistachios.
- Repeat layers of ladyfingers, cream, raspberries, and pistachios, finishing with a top layer of cream and garnish.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Serve chilled, garnishing with extra raspberries and pistachios.
Notes
Use room-temperature mascarpone for a smooth mix. Do not overbeat the cream. Quick dip ladyfingers to avoid sogginess.
