Discover the delightful Blueberry Tiramisu, a perfect blend of creamy mascarpone, juicy blueberries, and crunchy ladyfingers. This easy dessert cup recipe is ideal for any occasion, offering a refreshing twist on a classic favorite.
Ingredients (10)
1 package (about 20) ladyfinger
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
2 cups mascarpone cheese (approximately 1 pound)
1.5 cups heavy cream
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1.5 cups blueberry jam
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons lemon juice (approximately 1/8 cup)
1/4 to 1/3 cup Prosecco (optional)
Steps (6)
Prepare the Blueberry Mixture: In a bowl, combine the blueberry jam, lemon zest, lemon juice, and Prosecco (if using). Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Combine with Mascarpone: Gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the light texture.
Layer the Tiramisu: Spread a spoonful of the mascarpone mixture on the bottom of your serving cups. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the blueberry mixture (don’t soak too long) and place them in a single layer over the mascarpone mixture.
Add Layers: Spread another layer of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Sprinkle a handful of fresh blueberries over the mascarpone layer. Repeat the layering process (ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, fresh blueberries) until you reach the top of the cups.
Chill: Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Additional tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh blueberries and high-quality mascarpone cheese.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the blueberry mixture before assembling the tiramisu. If it’s too tart, add a bit more sugar to balance the flavors.
- Presentation: Garnish the top of each cup with a few fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest just before serving for an elegant touch.
- To make more: double the ingredients.
