White Chocolate Raspberry Tiramisu (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Raspberry Syrup

01 - 4 cups raspberries, fresh or frozen
02 - ½ cup water
03 - ¾ cup granulated sugar
04 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice

→ Mascarpone Filling

05 - 1 ½ cup heavy cream
06 - 16 ounces mascarpone cheese
07 - ¾ cup granulated sugar
08 - ¾ cup raspberry syrup (from recipe above)
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla

→ For Assembly

10 - 1 (7 oz) package Savoiardi ladyfingers (about 24)
11 - 1 ounce good-quality white chocolate (I used Lindt)

# Instructions:

01 - Place raspberries and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Using a potato masher or a fork, crush the berries. Bring the berries to a simmer, then lower temperature to medium-low and simmer for about 2 minutes.
02 - Remove pan from heat and pour berries into a fine-mesh strainer set over a glass measuring cup. Using the back of a ladle or spoon, press on the berries to squeeze out as much juice as possible. Discard seeds.
03 - Return raspberry juices to the pan, then add the sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 4-5 minutes until mixture reduces slightly. Remove from heat and chill in refrigerator to cool completely.
04 - In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Transfer whipped cream to a separate bowl, return bowl to the mixer, and replace whisk attachment with paddle attachment.
05 - To the mixer, add the mascarpone cheese, sugar, 3/4 cup of the raspberry syrup, and vanilla. Beat on high until combined. Add about a cup of the whipped cream and continue beating until incorporated. Gently fold in the rest of the whipped cream.
06 - One at a time, dip the ladyfingers in the raspberry syrup until soaked but not soggy; arrange in an even layer along the bottom of an 8-inch square dish. Spread half of the the mascarpone filling on top of the ladyfingers. Using a zester, microplane, or cheese grater, grate half of the white chocolate evenly on top. Place another layer of raspberry syrup-soaked ladyfingers on top of the filling.
07 - Spread half of the remaining filling on top of the ladyfingers. Transfer remaining filling to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip (or a gallon ziplock bag with the corner cut off), and pipe the filling evenly over the tiramisu. Grate the rest of the white chocolate on top.
08 - Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.

# Notes:

01 - Should end up with about 2 cups raspberry syrup
02 - Can sprinkle extra syrup on soaked ladyfingers for more raspberry flavor
03 - Cut ladyfingers after soaking for easier cutting
