Ingredients
Scale
White Chocolate Cream
- 200g high-quality white chocolate
- 250g mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Fruits and Nuts
- 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
Base
- 24 ladyfinger biscuits
- Room temperature water or light syrup for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the White Chocolate Cream: Gently melt the white chocolate over a double boiler, ensuring it remains smooth and does not seize. Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, then carefully fold in the mascarpone cheese, sugar, melted white chocolate, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until the mixture becomes glossy and silky.
- Layer Ladyfingers and Cream: Quickly dip the ladyfinger biscuits into room temperature water or a light syrup to keep them moist but not soggy. Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of your serving dish or individual glasses, then spread a generous layer of the prepared white chocolate cream on top.
- Add Fresh Raspberries and Pistachios: Evenly sprinkle fresh raspberries over the cream layer, followed by a scattering of chopped pistachios to add vibrant color and delightful texture.
- Repeat Layers and Chill: Repeat the layering process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and cream, finishing with raspberries and pistachios on top. Cover the tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld perfectly.
Notes
- Chill your mixing bowls to help the cream whip faster and achieve better volume.
- Avoid over-soaking ladyfingers; a quick dip keeps the texture ideal without becoming mushy.
- Use fresh raspberries and high-quality pistachios to elevate the flavor and presentation.
- Melt white chocolate slowly and gently to prevent burning or grainy texture.
- Tiramisu tastes better the next day, so prepare it ahead of time if possible.
