| Chocolate and Raspberry Tiramisu |
Chocolate, coffee, raspberries, Amaretto liqueur and mascarpone are some of the fabulous ingredients used in this Tiramisu. Unfortunately, I didn't have a lovely dish for my Tiramisu, it would have looked so much better but obviously wouldn't have tasted any different.
Some versions of Tiramisu aren't very exciting, and whilst this isn't authentic, it is a lightweight and zingy version. I prefer this dessert with fruit, it definitely adds another dimension, some may be horrified, but this is a winner and my hubby was more than delighted.
What's different about this Tiramisu? After the base layer of coffee and Amaretto soaked sponge fingers, it has a layer of crushed raspberries and then a layer of mascarpone lightened with egg yolks, then whipped egg whites are folded into the mascarpone mix. Another layer of soaked sponge fingers, topped with the remaining mascarpone mix and a dusting of cocoa powder. Leave to set overnight. Top with more crushed raspberries, a scattering of raspberries, and curls of white and dark chocolate. The recipe is from Woman and Home Feel Good Food Magazine Spring 2011.

Ooooh that sounds like such a lovely variation on a traditional tiramisu Maggie! I usually use marsala for tiramisu but I much prefer amaretto x
Wow! You've just added the most sophisticated layer to one of my favourite desserts. I can imagine how incredible this tastes! Lovely thinking!
Looks delectable! Thanks for joining in this month's #weshouldcocoa, nice to have you along for the caffeinated ride!
Maggie, this sounds wonderful. I'd have to sub the rasps for strawbs though, yum.
What a beautiful tiramisu! I've never tried one with fruit before but I'm very intrigued!
Thank you so much Maggie for entering your terrific Tiramisu into TTT!

Now that tiramisu looks the business. Those layers of crushed raspberries are a really nice touch and with amaretto, mascarpone and chocolate too - this has got to be a sublime dessert. Thanks for sharing it with We Should Cocoa :)
