Ingredients
Scale
Mascarpone Mixture
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for sweetening mascarpone)
Layers and Garnish
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- 24 ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)
- 1 1/2 cups raspberry juice or raspberry-flavored syrup
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (plus more for garnish)
- Optional: extra chopped pistachios and white chocolate shavings for topping
Instructions
- Melt White Chocolate Mixture: In a heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate chips together with the heavy cream over a double boiler or in short intervals in the microwave, stirring constantly until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly to prevent curdling when combined with mascarpone.
- Prepare Mascarpone Cream: In a large bowl, beat the softened mascarpone cheese with vanilla extract and powdered sugar if using until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the melted white chocolate mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Assemble First Layer: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the raspberry juice, ensuring they are submerged briefly to avoid sogginess. Arrange half of the dipped ladyfingers evenly in the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish. Spread half of the white chocolate mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then sprinkle with half of the finely chopped pistachios and fresh raspberries.
- Assemble Second Layer: Repeat the dipping process for the remaining ladyfingers and place them over the first layer. Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture on top, followed by the remaining chopped pistachios and fresh raspberries.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set. Before serving, garnish with additional raspberries, chopped pistachios, and white chocolate shavings if desired.
Notes
- This no-bake tiramisu is parfait for spring or holiday celebrations, combining fruity, nutty, and rich flavors without the need for baking.
- Use raspberry liqueur such as Chambord in place of raspberry juice for an adult twist.
- Do not soak ladyfingers too long when dipping to prevent sogginess; a quick dip is sufficient.
- For a different nutty flavor, consider substituting pistachios with almonds or hazelnuts.
