Instructions

1. Begin by washing all the berries thoroughly and gently pat them dry. For the strawberries, remove the green stems and slice them into smaller pieces.

2. In a tall mixing glass or blender, combine the raspberries and sliced strawberries. Add the brown sugar and lemon juice, then blend everything together using an immersion blender until smooth. Continue to emulsify the mixture with the blender until you achieve a smooth berry sauce. Set the berry sauce aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, pour in the fresh liquid cream. Add the powdered sugar and begin whipping the cream until stiff peaks form. This will take just a few minutes.

4. While the cream is whipping, take the mascarpone cheese and scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean pod into a separate bowl. Stir the vanilla into the mascarpone to infuse it with the rich, aromatic flavor.

5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in small amounts, stirring slowly from the bottom up to avoid deflating the whipped cream. You want the mixture to remain light and fluffy.

6. Transfer the mascarpone and cream mixture into a piping bag for easy assembly.

7. For the assembly, prepare small glasses with a diameter of approximately 8 cm and a height of 6.5 cm. Pipe a layer of the mascarpone cream into the bottom of each glass, creating an even first layer.

8. Dip the savoiardi (ladyfingers) in the freshly made berry sauce, ensuring they are lightly soaked but not soggy. Cut them in half if necessary, and arrange them on top of the cream layer in each glass.

9. Add a few whole raspberries on top of the savoiardi layer for extra flavor and color.

10. Repeat the process, adding another layer of dipped savoiardi, then finish off by spooning a generous amount of the remaining berry sauce over the top.

11. For the final touch, scatter a few extra mixed berries on top of each tiramisu, then garnish with fresh mint leaves.

12. Place the assembled tiramisù in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill. This step is crucial for the best texture and flavor.

13. Serve chilled and enjoy this refreshing twist on a classic tiramisu with the vibrant sweetness of fresh berries!
