How to Make Summer Berry Tiramisu
- Prepare your sponge cake: If using a homemade sponge, bake according to your chosen recipe. Once cooled, cut the cake horizontally in half.
- Grease a 20cm (6-inch) springform pan lightly and place one half of the sponge cake in the bottom.
- Gently soak the sponge with 1/4 cup of Kahlúa (or to your desired level of saturation).
- In a mixing bowl, beat together 8 oz (225g) mascarpone cheese, 1/4 cup (50g) icing sugar, 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, and the remaining 1/4 cup Kahlúa until smooth and fluffy.
- Spread the mascarpone mixture evenly over the soaked sponge.
- Cover the springform pan and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- While the tiramisu chills, prepare the berry topping: Gently wash and hull 2 cups of your favorite summer berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc.).
- Evenly distribute the berries over the set mascarpone layer.
- Return the tiramisu to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the berries to release their juices and flavors.
- Prepare the berry glaze (optional): Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- Gently heat 1 cup of berry puree (homemade or store-bought) in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the bloomed gelatin and stir until completely dissolved and smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- Once the glaze has slightly cooled, gently pour it over the berries. Return the tiramisu to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
- 15 minutes before serving, remove the tiramisu from the refrigerator. Carefully run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the springform pan to loosen the dessert.
- Release the sides of the springform pan. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh berries and a sprig of mint (optional).
