Raspberry Tiramisu (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Raspberry Jam

01 - 500g frozen raspberries
02 - 100g granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice

→ Raspberry Syrup

04 - 100g granulated sugar
05 - 120g water
06 - 30g frozen raspberries
07 - 3 tablespoons limoncello (optional)

→ Mascarpone Filling

08 - 450g cold mascarpone cheese
09 - 120g powdered sugar
10 - 2 tablespoons lemon juice
11 - 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
12 - 480g cold heavy cream (500ml)

→ Assembly

13 - 25 ladyfinger cookies
14 - Fresh raspberries for decoration
15 - Lemon slices for decoration

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Add raspberries, sugar and lemon juice to a saucepan and heat until raspberries thaw, break down, and the mixture bubbles. Reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally and mashing raspberries with a rubber spatula.
02 - Simmer for 23-25 minutes until thickened. Test by placing a bit on the back of a spoon - if you can draw a line through it without the jam running, it's done. Transfer to a shallow bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until cool (about 1 hour).
03 - While jam cools, combine sugar, water and raspberries in a small saucepan over high heat until sugar dissolves and mixture boils.
04 - Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking down berries with a rubber spatula.
05 - Strain syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding raspberry seeds. Add limoncello and let cool to room temperature.
06 - Once jam and syrup have cooled, beat mascarpone, powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanilla paste until combined, about 30 seconds.
07 - Scrape down bowl sides, add heavy cream to mascarpone mixture, and whisk until medium-stiff peaks form.
08 - Spread a thin layer of mascarpone cream on the bottom of your dish. Dip ladyfingers in raspberry syrup (twice on each side) and arrange in a single layer.
09 - Spread half the mascarpone cream in an even layer over ladyfingers, then add half the raspberry jam in an even layer.
10 - Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and remaining mascarpone cream (reserve remaining jam for serving).
11 - Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
12 - Before serving, spread remaining raspberry jam in an even layer on top and decorate with fresh raspberries and lemon slices if desired.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - This dessert is best prepared a day ahead to allow flavors to fully develop
