Directions

1. Prepare the Raspberry Jam:

  • In a saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Heat over medium until the mixture bubbles, then reduce to a simmer.
  • Simmer for 23-25 minutes until thickened.
  • Transfer to a shallow bowl, cover, and refrigerate until cooled to room temperature, about 1 hour.

2. Prepare the Raspberry Syrup:

  • In a small saucepan, combine sugar, water, and raspberries. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer for 3 minutes, mashing the berries.
  • Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, discard solids, and let the syrup cool to room temperature.

Optional: Stir in limoncello to the cooled syrup for added flavor.

3. Prepare the Mascarpone Filling:

  • Using an electric mixer, beat mascarpone, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until combined, about 30 seconds.
  • Add heavy cream and whip until medium-stiff peaks form.

4. Assemble the Tiramisu:

  • In a serving dish, spread a thin layer of mascarpone cream on the bottom.
  • Quickly dip ladyfingers into the raspberry syrup, ensuring each side is moistened, and arrange half in a layer over the cream.
  • Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing into an even layer.
  • Dot half of the raspberry jam over the mascarpone and gently spread.
  • Repeat the layers: dip remaining ladyfingers, add mascarpone, and dot with the remaining jam.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld.

5. Serve:

  • Before serving, spread the reserved raspberry jam over the top layer.
  • Garnish with fresh raspberries and lemon slices.
  • Slice and enjoy!
