Delectable Raspberry Tiramisu

Instructions:
Step 1: In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and fluffy.

Step 2: In a shallow dish, combine the espresso with raspberry liqueur (if using). Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the mixture and layer half of them in the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish.

Step 3: Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. In a separate bowl, gently mix raspberries with raspberry jam, then spoon half over the mascarpone layer.

Step 4: Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, remaining mascarpone mixture, and raspberry topping.

Step 5: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and powdered sugar, and top with fresh raspberries.

Storage information:
Store in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. Best enjoyed chilled. Avoid freezing, as it may alter the texture of the mascarpone cream.
