Berry Tiramisu Recipes

Steps:

• Place berries in a large bowl. Mix 1/3 cup sugar, orange zest and orange juice; toss gently with berries. Refrigerate, covered, 45 minutes., Beat cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix mascarpone cheese, vanilla and remaining sugar. Fold in whipped cream, a third at a time., Drain berries over a shallow bowl, reserving juices. Dip ladyfingers in reserved juices, allowing excess to drip off; arrange in a single layer on bottom of a 13x9-in. dish. Layer with half the berries and half the mascarpone mixture; repeat layers, starting with ladyfingers., Refrigerate, covered, overnight. If desired, top with additional berries before serving.

Steps:

• Stir the jam and 4 tablespoons of the orange liqueur in a small bowl to blend.
• Combine the mascarpone and remaining 2 tablespoons of orange liqueur in a large bowl to blend. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream, sugar, and vanilla in another large bowl until soft peaks form. Using a large rubber spatula, stir 1/4 of the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture to lighten. Fold the remaining whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
• Line the bottom of a13 by 9 by 2-inch glass baking dish or other decorative serving dish with half of the ladyfingers. Spread half of the jam mixture over the ladyfingers. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the jam mixture, then cover with half of the fresh raspberries. Repeat layering with the remaining ladyfingers, jam mixture, mascarpone mixture and raspberries. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Dust with the confectioners' sugar and serve.

Steps:

• Prepare the berries: Trim berries and cut any large ones into 1/2-inch/1 centimeter pieces. Place berries in a ceramic bowl and add 3 to 4 tablespoons of sugar (depending on the sweetness of the fruit), the lemon juice and the dessert wine. Let them soak for as long as possible, at least 2 hours, so they release their juice, which you will need to moisten the lady fingers.
• Make the custard: Whisk together egg yolks and sugar in a metal bowl and set over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Continue whisking (by hand or with an electric mixer) until very warm to the touch but not quite boiling, about 5 minutes. The mixture should reach 160 degrees. Add dessert wine and whisk thoroughly for another minute. Remove bowl from heat, place in an ice bath and let cool completely. Whisk in mascarpone until smooth.
• Whip the cream in a separate bowl until it holds stiff peaks. Fold it gently into the mascarpone mixture.
• To assemble: Line the bottom of a deep 9-inch-square serving dish with half of the ladyfingers, making compact rows. Spread half the berries on top with about half of their juices. Make sure to drizzle the juice evenly over the ladyfingers so they will be soft but not soggy. Cover with half the mascarpone custard. Repeat process once more, for a two-layer tiramisù, then refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
• Sprinkle with brown sugar and decorate with edible flowers before serving. Cut into squares first, or use a spoon.

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, heat, granulated sugar, water, lemon peel and lemon juice to boiling. Boil until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat; cool lemon syrup completely.
• In large bowl, beat mascarpone, cream, powdered sugar and vanilla with electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
• Line bottom of ungreased 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish with half of the ladyfingers. Generously brush about one-fourth of lemon syrup over ladyfingers. Spread half of mascarpone mixture evenly over ladyfinger layer. Top with half of the berries; brush with lemon syrup. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used.
• Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight before serving. Cut into 4 rows by 2 rows.

Steps:

• Place a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water with the egg yolks and the sugar in, whisk until pale, creamy and doubled in volume. Remove from the heat and whisk for another 1 min until cool.
• In another bowl beat the cream, mascarpone and vanilla until combined, thick and creamy. Fold or very gently whisk this mixture into the creamy yolks.
• Dip half the sponge fingers into the marsala and arrange over the bottom of a serving dish. Pour over half of the creamy mixture, then top with most of the raspberries. Repeat the layers, then finish by dotting over the remaining raspberries. Cover and chill for at least 2 hrs.
• Dust the tiramisu with icing sugar just before serving in big bowls.

Steps:

• Gently stir the raspberries, blueberries and strawberries in a bowl with the granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of the Chambord, and 1/2 cup of the raspberry coulis.
• Whip the heavy cream in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until it thickens and almost doubles in volume.
• Add 1/4 cup of the confectioners' sugar and 1 tablespoon of the Chambord and whip until stiff peaks form.
• In a medium bowl, whip the mascarpone with the remaining 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar with electric mixer on low speed until smooth.
• Fold in half of the whipped cream.
• Spread half the pound cake slices in the bottom of a 9x13-inch glass dish.
• Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup Chambord over the cake and cover with half of the berry mixture.
• Cover the berries with half of mascarpone cream, gently spreading it into a smooth layer.
• Now spread the other half of the pound cake slices on top of that layer and repeat adding the other 1/4 cup of Chambord, the other half of the berry mixture, and the other half of the mascarpone cream.
• Cover tightly with plastic wrap.
• Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 1 and 1/2 days.
• To serve, spoon into bowls and garnish with remaining whipped cream and mint sprigs.
• Serve with remaining raspberry coulis spooned over each serving or passed on the side.
• For Raspberry Coulis: Bring the raspberries, syrup and lemon juice to a simmer in a medium saucepan over low heat.
• Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the berries are very soft, about 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle the cornstarch over 2 teaspoons cold water and stir to dissolve.
• Pour into the simmering raspberry mixture.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
• Strain through a fine-mesh wire sieve into a medium bowl; discard the seeds.
• Cool completely, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• (Freeze any leftover coulis in a plastic container for up to one month).

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine raspberries with 6 tablespoons sugar. Crush a few of the berries; set aside. In a small bowl, dissolve 1 cup sugar in 1/3 cup hot water. When dissolved, stir in Grand Marnier and cold water; set aside.
• Beat egg yolks with 6 tablespoons sugar until ribbons form, about 5 minutes. mix in mascarpone until smooth. In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, with clean beaters, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add 6 tablespoons sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the whites into the mascarpone mixture, then quickly fold in remaining whites until no streaks remain.
• Brush ladyfingers on both sides with Grand Marnier syrup. Place on bottom and sides of a 9x13 inch glass baking dish. Spoon raspberries evenly over ladyfingers. Spread 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture over the raspberries. Sprinkle chocolate shavings over cream, then cover with the remaining cream mixture. Top with toasted almonds. Cover with plastic, and refrigerate overnight.

Steps:

• NOTE: Sponge cake base - I normally make a sponge in the springform tin. I then cut it in half height wise (depending on how high it rises) and use half for this recipe (and freeze the other half).
• Grease springform pan lightly and place sponge in the bottom.
• Lightly soak with half to two-thirds of the Kahlua (I use a brush).
• Beat together mascarpone, icing sugar, cream & the remaining Kahlua. Smooth over the top of the sponge.
• Cover and chill until set (approx 4-8 hours).
• Top evenly with the berries & put back in the fridge so everything is kept cool.
• Dissolve gelatin in water as per pack instructions, then set aside.
• In a pot slowly warm the fruit puree and add the gelatin. Stir until totally dissolved, then leave to cool (you can speed this up by putting it in the fridge, but be careful - you don't want it to set).
• Top the sponge cake/cheese mixture with the puree mixture and refrigerate again until set and stable (approx 2 hours).
• Remove from fridge 15 minutes before serving, then gently remove the springform pan outer (you may need to gently run a knife around the edges).
• Serve with garnish & accompaniment of your choice.

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Steps:

• Cook frozen mixed berries and 6 tablespoons sugar in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until mixture resembles jam and is reduced to 1 cup, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes. Cool jam mixture.
• Strain syrup from thawed raspberries through sieve set over bowl, pressing gently on solids. Discard solids. Add raspberry liqueur to raspberry syrup in bowl. Using sharp knife, trim 1 biscuit to 3-inch (about) length. Quickly dip biscuit into syrup, turning to coat lightly. Place rounded end up and sugared side against side of 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides. Repeat with as many biscuits as necessary to cover sides of pan. Dip more biscuits in syrup and arrange on bottom of pan, covering completely and trimming to fit.
• In bowl, whisk mascarpone with 6 tablespoons sugar and vanilla to blend. Set aside. Thinly slice enough strawberries to measure 1/2 cup. Gently spread half of jam mixture over biscuits in bottom of pan. Spoon half of mascarpone mixture over; smooth top. Sprinkle with sliced strawberries, 1/2 cup fresh raspberries and 1/2 cup blueberries. Dip more biscuits into syrup; arrange over fruit in pan, covering completely and trimming to fit. Gently spread remaining jam mixture over biscuits. Spoon remaining mascarpone mixture over; smooth top. Cover; chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Release pan sides. Transfer cake to platter. Arrange remaining fresh berries decoratively atop cake and serve.
