How to Make Lemon Raspberry Tiramisu

  1. Combine 1/4 cup cold water and 1 packet (7 grams) of unflavored gelatin in a small, microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Microwave on high for 30-60 seconds, or until water is boiling and gelatin is completely dissolved.
  3. Let the gelatin mixture cool slightly.
  4. Meanwhile, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup Splenda (or other sugar substitute), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a large bowl.
  5. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  6. Gradually add the cooled gelatin mixture to the cream cheese mixture, beating for 1 minute until fully incorporated.
  7. Gently fold in 1 cup of light cool whip (or whipped topping), beating for another minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  8. Set aside.
  9. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup raspberry preserves, 2 tablespoons of water, and 1 tablespoon of Marsala wine until well blended.
  10. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the preserves mixture for drizzling later.
  11. Spread 1/3 cup of the preserves mixture evenly over the bottom of an 11x7 inch glass baking dish.
  12. Arrange half of a package (about 12) of ladyfingers evenly over the preserves mixture.
  13. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the ladyfingers.
  14. Sprinkle 1 cup fresh raspberries (or other berries) over the cream cheese layer.
  15. Repeat layers: remaining ladyfingers, remaining preserves mixture, and remaining cream cheese mixture.
  16. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set completely.
  17. Before serving, sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of fresh raspberries and drizzle with the reserved 2 tablespoons of preserves mixture.
