Ingredients
  

For the Raspberry Jam
  • 2 cups frozen raspberries Use fresh raspberries if available for a fresher taste.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar Reduce by 10-20% for a less sweet experience.
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice Substitute with lime juice for a zesty twist.
For the Raspberry Syrup
  • 1 cup water Can be replaced with fruit juice for added flavor.
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar Adjust the amount to taste.
For the Mascarpone Filling
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese Cream cheese can be used, but it will alter the taste.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar Granulated sugar can substitute but may affect texture.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste Use vanilla extract as an alternative if needed.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Half-and-half can be used but will yield a denser filling.
For the Assembly
  • 1 package ladyfinger cookies Savoiardi cookies are traditional, or try ginger snaps for a unique flavor.
  • 1 cup raspberry syrup Ensure brief immersion to keep them from getting too soggy.
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries Consider mint leaves for added flair.
  • 1 lemon slices Can also use in combination with fresh raspberries.

Equipment

  • saucepan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • electric mixer
  • fine sieve

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the frozen raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat for about 23-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and cool in the fridge.
  2. In a small saucepan, bring the water and granulated sugar to a boil. Add the frozen raspberries, reduce heat, and simmer for 3 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve and cool.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla paste. Blend until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until medium-stiff peaks form, then fold into the mascarpone mixture.
  4. Select a serving dish, dip ladyfinger cookies in raspberry syrup briefly, and layer them in the dish. Spread half of the mascarpone filling and half of the cooled raspberry jam. Repeat layers and finish with more mascarpone on top.
  5. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or preferably overnight.
  6. Before serving, top with remaining raspberry jam and garnish with fresh raspberries and lemon slices. Cut into squares and serve.
