Let’s Make it together
Prepare the White Chocolate Mixture: Start by melting the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until smooth. Stir often to ensure it doesn’t burn. Let it cool slightly before using.
Whip the Cream and Mascarpone: In another bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Then gently fold in mascarpone cheese along with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
Add Melted Chocolate to Mixture: Carefully fold the melted white chocolate into your whipped cream mixture until fully combined. This step ensures every layer bursts with creamy goodness.
Prepare Your Raspberries: Rinse fresh raspberries gently under cold water and let them dry completely. If you prefer sweeter layers, toss them with a little powdered sugar to enhance their natural sweetness.
Layer the Ingredients: Begin layering by dipping savoiardi cookies briefly in coffee or espresso (if using). Place them in your serving dish and top with half of the mascarpone mixture followed by half of the raspberries.
Create Final Layers and Chill: Repeat the layering process one more time using remaining cookies, mascarpone mixture, and raspberries. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight if possible.
Serve Your Masterpiece!: Once chilled, slice into portions and serve with extra raspberries on top for garnish. Enjoy your delightful creation!
With each spoonful of this delectable White Chocolate Raspberry Tiramisu melting away in your mouth, you’ll find yourself falling head over heels all over again! Enjoy making memories one bite at a time!
