Scale
- 24 savoiardi ladyfingers (from a 7 oz package)
- 4 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- 3/4 cup raspberry syrup
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 16 oz mascarpone cheese
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 oz good-quality white chocolate, melted
- Optional: finely shredded coconut for topping
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries, lemon juice, 1/2 cup sugar, and water. Simmer for 10 minutes until the berries break down.
- Strain the mixture to remove seeds and stir in raspberry syrup. Let cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese with the remaining sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
- Fold half of the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, then gently fold in the rest along with the melted white chocolate.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the raspberry mixture and layer them in the bottom of a 9×13-inch glass dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the soaked ladyfingers.
- Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers and top with the remaining mascarpone cream.
- Using a piping bag, decorate the top with soft peaks of the cream mixture.
- Optional: Sprinkle finely shredded coconut on top for a snowy finish.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before slicing and serving chilled.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- This dessert is best made a day ahead to allow the flavors to meld.
- Frozen raspberries should be thawed before using.
