What You Will Need to Make Mixed Berry Tiramisu
- Ladyfingers: I have used light, crispy, and sweet ladyfinger biscuits to make this tiramisu but you can use old-fashioned vanilla sponge cake.
- Mascarpone cheese: Mascarpone cheese is a key ingredient in our tiramisu recipe. It gives this sweet fruit tiramisu a creamy texture. If you have run out of mascarpone cheese you can mix room-temperature cream cheese with heavy cream and a little sour cream.
- Orange juice: The orange and berry juice-soaked ladyfingers will add a tangy and citrusy flavor to your tiramisu that is sure to be a hit. Use whatever syrup, liqueur, or juice you wish to moisten the ladyfinger biscuits.
- Lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice adds bright citrus notes.
- Granulated sugar: Add granulated sugar to sweeten the berry mixture.
- Heavy whipping cream: Traditional tiramisu uses raw egg yolks and whipped egg whites which I don’t like at all! For making a creamy filling I swap out the egg whites with whipped cream.
- Powdered sugar: I prefer using powdered sugar as it dissolves easily. You can alternatively use superfine sugar or granulated sugar.
- Raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries for the filling.
How to Make Mixed Berry Tiramisu
- In a bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and orange juice. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. This will bring out the juices of the berries.
- After this time, drain the juice from the berries into a clean bowl and set them aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
- Add in the softened mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract and continue beating on medium speed for another 4-5 minutes until stiff peaks form then set aside.
- Cut each ladyfinger into 2 or 3 parts. Quickly dip ladyfingers into the juices until they are lightly coated.
- Layer ladyfingers at the bottom of the serving glasses.
- Top with a layer of mixed berries. Continue layering ladyfingers, cream, and mixed berries to fill each individual glass.
- Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, top with fresh sliced strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. If you’d like, you can dust a little powdered sugar over the top.
How to Make Mixed Berry Tiramisu Like a Pro?
- Before starting, gather the ingredients and place them on the countertop. Measure the required ingredients accurately.
- Just quickly dip the cookies into the berry juice and don’t soak them otherwise the texture of the tiramisu will be wet and soggy.
- Refrigerate the tiramisu before serving.
