Ingredients
  

For the Espresso Soak
  • 1 cup espresso or strong coffee, cooled Freshly brewed espresso gives the best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup raspberry liqueur (optional) Adds depth; substitute with raspberry syrup if desired.
For the Tiramisu Layers
  • 24 pieces ladyfingers Use crisp savoiardi for structure; can substitute sponge cake.
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese Use a good-quality brand or half replacement with cream cheese.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Chill mixing bowl for easier whipping.
  • 1/2 cup sugar Adjust quantity for lower sugar alternatives.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries Use ripe, firm berries to avoid excess juice; frozen can work if drained.
  • Cocoa powder for dusting Dust lightly just before serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pour the cooled espresso into a shallow dish and add the raspberry liqueur if using. Keep the soak shallow so ladyfingers dip quickly without soaking too long.
  2. In a chilled mixing bowl, beat together the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and holds soft peaks.
  3. Arrange a single layer of ladyfingers along the bottom of your serving dish, quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture for no more than 1-2 seconds per side.
  4. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
  5. Scatter half of the fresh raspberries over the mascarpone layer, pressing them in slightly.
  6. Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and raspberries.
  7. Cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Just before serving, dust lightly with cocoa powder.
