Raspberry Tiramisu
Since the berries are in season, it makes me want to use them in every dessert I make. The picture unfortunately doesn't do justice to all the layers of deliciousness in this tiramisu but trust me it's heavenly!
Yields 6x6" cake pan
Raspberry puree
3/4 cup raspberries
2 tbsp sugar
Raspberry cream cheese custard
4 eggs yolks
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup soy milk + 1/4 cup raspberry juice
1 cup of cream cheese
Whipped cream
1 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp sugar
To assemble
15-20 ladyfingers
1/4 cup soy milk
- Combine all the ingredients for the raspberry puree in a saucepan and cook on medium heat for 10-15 minutes. Pour in a small bowl and let cool down.
- To make the custard, combine the egg yolks and sugar in a saucepan. Combine the milk and raspberry juice together in a small bowl and mix with the egg yolks.
- Cook on medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until the texture is thick enough to cover the back of a spoon. Mix continuously.
- Take off the heat and pour in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge.
- Once the custard has cooled down, place the cream cheese in a big bowl and combine with the custard. Mix well with an electric mixer.
- To make the whipped cream, beat the cream until the texture is light and fluffy. Incorporate the sugar gradually and mix until well combined.
- To assemble, soak the half of the ladyfinger in milk and place at the bottom of a 6x6 cake pan. Cover the ladyfinger with the custard, then half of the raspberry puree and half of the whipped cream. Repeat layers and decorate with fresh raspberries.
