Raspberry Tiramisu

  1. Make the fresh orange juice. If it needs sweetening, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of fine sugar and dissolve well but don't make it too sweet because the lady fingers are already sweet. Add the Grand Marnier and put it in a deep container where you can dip the lady fingers later. Set aside.
  2. Make the coulis: Process the raspberries in a food blender with 3 tablespoons of orange juice and 2 tablespoons of fine sugar until you can't see the seeds and it's velvety. The coulis should be creamy and thick.
  3. Beat the egg yolks with the fine sugar until creamy and frothy.
  4. Add the mascarpone and the yoghurt in 2 or 3 goes and beat just enough to mix.
  5. Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks and fold them in very lightly in the egg and mascarpone mixture.
  6. Assembling: Put the serving containers on a table, have the mascarpone mixture ready, the raspberry coulis, the orange juice and the lady fingers in a bowl. Start by putting a thin layer of mascarpone cream, add a soaked lady finger layer, pour a little coulis and re-start with mascarpone, lady finger coulis and end with mascarpone. Cover in plastic film and chill for 2 to 4 hours. Before serving decorate with raspberry coulis and some fresh raspberries.
  7. With other fruits the procedure is exactly the same.
  8. Note 1: Best eaten within 24 hours but can stand 2 days (after this time it kind of gets very soggy).
  9. Note 2: don't soak the ladyfingers too much, just dip the bottom of the biscuit, not the whole. To make the individual portions, break the lady fingers in half and use 2 halves per layer, putting them side by side.
  10. Note 3: If you are in a really cooking mood, make sponge cake and use it instead of lady fingers!!
