Ingredients

Amaretto Syrup

½ cup (118 grams) water

½ cup (118 grams) sugar

½ cup (84 grams) Amaretto Liqueur

Mascarpone Cream

6 ounces (169 grams) mascarpone cheese room temperature, full fat

6 ounces (169 grams) cream cheese room temperature, full fat, brick style (you can also use more mascarpone, I like the flavor cream cheese gives)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 and ½ teaspoons almond extract

¾ teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup (61 grams) powdered sugar

1 and ½ cups (402 grams) heavy cream cold

Assembling

1 cup (290 grams) seedless raspberry jam

1 tablespoon lemon juice

30 DeLallo Ladyfingers

Directions

Amaretto Syrup

In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar.

Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture comes to a light simmer.

Remove from heat and stir in the Amaretto. Set aside and let it cool to room temperature.

Cheese Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, add the room temperature mascarpone and cream cheese

Beat on medium speed until smooth and well combined, about 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1½ teaspoons almond extract, ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup powdered sugar.

Beat again until everything is creamy and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

In a separate large bowl, pour in 1½ cups cold heavy cream.

Using a hand or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. This means the cream should hold its shape when you lift the beaters.

Add the whipped cream to the mascarpone bowl in 2–3 additions. Use a spatula to gently fold it in, preserving as much of the airy texture as possible. Take your time here, don’t rush or stir too aggressively.

Raspberry Jam

In a small bowl, stir together 1 cup seedless raspberry jam and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until smooth. This helps brighten the flavor and makes it easier to spread.

Assemble

Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled amaretto syrup, just a 1–2 second dunk on each side. You want them soaked but not soggy.

Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers in your serving dish, making sure each nook and cranny is covered, you can cut them to fit.

Spoon and spread half the raspberry jam mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.

Follow with half the mascarpone cream, spreading it into an even layer.

Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers, spread the remaining jam, then finish with the rest of the mascarpone cream.

Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up. Just before serving, you can top it with a dusting of freeze dried raspberry powder, fresh raspberries, or toasted sliced almonds.
