# What You Need:
→ Cream Layer
01 - 8.8 oz mascarpone cheese
02 - 0.85 cup heavy cream, cold
03 - 0.67 cup powdered sugar
04 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
→ Raspberry Layer
05 - 10.6 oz fresh raspberries
06 - 2 tbsp granulated sugar
07 - 1 tbsp lemon juice

08 - 5.3 oz ladyfingers (savoiardi)
09 - 0.42 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
10 - 2 tbsp raspberry liqueur
→ Garnish
11 - 1.8 oz fresh raspberries
12 - 1 tbsp powdered sugar
13 - Fresh mint leaves
# Directions:
01 - Gently mash 10.6 oz raspberries with 2 tbsp granulated sugar and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a medium bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes to release juices.
02 - Whip cold heavy cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Fold in mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
03 - Combine cooled coffee and raspberry liqueur in a shallow dish for dipping ladyfingers.
04 - Briefly dip each ladyfinger in coffee mixture, working quickly to prevent oversaturation. Arrange in a single layer in an 8x8 inch dish.
05 - Spread half the macerated raspberries evenly over the ladyfingers.
06 - Distribute half the mascarpone cream mixture over the raspberries, smoothing with a spatula.
07 - Repeat with another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers.
08 - Top with remaining macerated raspberries, then finish with the remaining mascarpone cream. Smooth the top surface evenly.
09 - Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
10 - Just before serving, decorate top with fresh raspberries, dust with powdered sugar, and add mint leaves if desired.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The tart berries cut through the rich cream creating this incredible balance that keeps you coming back for seconds
- It comes together faster than youd think but tastes like something from an Italian bakery
02 -
- I once soaked the ladyfingers too long and ended up with a soup instead of a layered dessert, now I count to three and pull them out immediately
- The macerating step for the berries isnt optional, it draws out those natural juices and creates this incredible raspberry syrup that seeps into every layer
03 -
- Use a clean glass dish if you have one, seeing those beautiful layers through the sides makes serving even more impressive
- Room temperature mascarpone blends much more smoothly, so pull it out about 20 minutes before you start mixing
