# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The tart raspberries cut through the rich mascarpone creating this impossibly light dessert that somehow feels indulgent and refreshing at the same time
  • It comes together faster than youd think and actually improves after sitting in the fridge making it perfect for stress-free entertaining
02 -
  • Over-dipped ladyfingers will turn your tiramisu into a mushy mess so work quickly and confidently when dipping each one
  • The refrigerator time is non-negotiable because those ladyfingers need time to soften and meld with the cream layers into something cohesive
03 -
  • Room temperature mascarpone blends smoothly while cold mascarpone creates stubborn lumps that no amount of whisking will fix
  • Use a serrated knife to gently saw through ladyfingers if you need to trim them to fit your dish without crushing them
