Raspberry Tiramisu

This Raspberry Tiramisu takes the perfect twist on the classic dessert by making raspberries the center of attention. Finely ground and sifted freeze dried raspberries are added to the mascarpone cream, raspberry jam is layered in, and raspberries are added on top. It's rich and decadent with the perfect balance of chocolate, espresso, mascarpone and raspberry.

Notes

  • *If you don't have pasteurized eggs, you can pasteurize them pretty quickly. Use the eggs immediately once you do this.
  • Leftover tiramisu can be wrapped in plastic wrap and kept up to four days in the fridge.
  • You might have a little bit of mascarpone mixture left over
