Berry Tiramisu

on

Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • Berries
    • 2 cups raspberries
    • 2 cups blackberries
    • 4 cups blueberries
    • 2 cups strawberries
    • 1/3 cup sugar
    • Zest of one orange
    • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 16 oz. mascarpone cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 packages (7 oz. each) ladyfinger cookies
  • Fruit compote (optional)
  • Ice cream (optional)

Directions

  1. Clean the berries.  Toss in a bowl with the sugar, orange zest, and orange juice.  Cover and refrigerate for 30-40 minutes.
  2. Whip the cream in a metal bowl to reach soft peaks.  Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, beat together the sugar, mascarpone, and vanilla.  Fold in the whipped cream.
  4. Remove the berries from the fridge.  Drain the fluid off, reserving the juices.
  5. One-by-one, dip the ladyfinger cookies in the fruit juice for about 1 second.  Then line the bottom of a 9" x 13" casserole dish.
    • If you let the cookies sit in the juice too long then they'll take on too much fluid and your dessert will lack structure.  A quick dip is all they need.
  6. Spread half the fruit over the cookies, and then cover with half of the mascarpone mixture.
  7. Repeat steps 5 & 6, using the remainder of the cookies, berries, and mascarpone.  It's ok if it sticks up over the top of the casserole dish.
  8. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight to let everything get firm.
  9. Serve cold, right from the refrigerator.  Top with homemade fruit compote and a side of ice cream, if desired.
