Berry Bloody Tiramisu




Yesterday I cooked a yummy tiramisu with the ladyfingers soaked in berry juice. It turned out to be a good Halloween treat :)

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups of frozen berries
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1-2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 eggs
  • 3-4 tbsp sugar
  • 200-250 g mascarpone cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ladyfingers
Directions: Mix the first 4 ingredients in a saucepan and simmer over low heat for a few minutes until the berries start to soften. Leave aside to cool off. Over a double boiler mix the egg yolks and sugar for about 5 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes. Meanwhile beat the egg whites. Incorporate the mascarpone in the egg yolk mixture and then fold in the egg whites. I used individual glasses to serve the tiramisu, but it can be assembled in a big dish too. Layer some of the berry mixture, the ladyfingers. Brush the ladyfingers with some of the berry mixture to soak. Layer some of the mascarpone mixture. I did two layers of each. On top of the last layer of mascarpone mixture I shaved some chocolate and decorated it with a fresh raspberry. Refrigerate for a couple of hours and serve. Enjoy!
