(6)

Here's a great recipe for a large group, as it can be made in quantity without much fuss. This berry tiramisù has become one of my favorite ways to show off the fresh berries of the season. If you wish, serve sliced strawberries or a compote of blueberries and raspberries on the side.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 12 servings

Ingredients

3 pints blueberries
2/3 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 (6-ounce) containers raspberries
About 40 Italian-style ladyfingers (savoiardi)
1 (16- to 17.5-ounce) container mascarpone, at room temperature
2/3 cup confectioner's sugar
1 cup heavy cream

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. At least 8 hours before serving the tiramisù, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a heavy-bottomed, nonreactive medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, until the berries give off their juices, about 5 minutes. Add the raspberries and cook until they are heated through but still hold their shape, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.

    Step 2

    2. Arrange half of the ladyfingers in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, trimming them as necessary to fit. Spoon half of the hot berry sauce evenly over the ladyfingers. Top with the remaining ladyfingers, then the remaining sauce. Let stand until cooled, about 30 minutes.

    Step 3

    3. Combine the mascarpone and confectioner's sugar in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on low speed, gradually beat in the heavy cream. Spread the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours. (The tiramisù can be made and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead.) Serve chilled.
