Raspberry Tiramisu

We love a classic tiramisu, and couldn't imagine it getting any better...until raspberries entered the picture. The sweet-tart flavor of fresh fruit and raspberry jam pairs perfectly with creamy mascarpone, slightly bitter coffee and chocolate, and delicate ladyfingers. It adds a layer of fruity fun to the sophisticated Italian dessert that make it the perfect no-bake treat for summer (and all year round!).

To amplify the brighter flavors here, we used a little orange liqueur (like Cointreau or Grand Marnier) instead of traditional rum. As with regular tiramisu, the ladyfingers will soak up the coffee mixture quickly, so take care to not act fast as you dip them.

Though this recipe is lovely during peak raspberry season, it's also easily adaptable for the seasons. Swap out your favorite fruits and jams as you please. Cranberry sauce could be great come fall, or orange marmalade would be nice in the winter—have fun with it!
