White Chocolate Layer:
- 250g of mascarpone cheese
- 400g of Greek yogurt
- 50g of powdered sugar
- 100g of melted white chocolate
- 250ml of heavy cream
Raspberry Layer:
- About 500g of raspberries (thaw if frozen)
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 50g of powdered sugar
Additional:
- About 400g of ladyfingers
- 50g of grated white chocolate
Preparation:
- With a mixer, beat the mascarpone cheese, Greek yogurt, and powdered sugar together. Then incorporate the melted white chocolate.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form and fold it into the cheese mixture.
- For the raspberry layer, blend the raspberries with lemon juice and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Prepare a 20x30cm dish and layer as follows: half of the raspberry mixture, a layer of ladyfingers, half of the white chocolate mixture, another layer of ladyfingers, the remaining raspberry mixture, and the rest of the white chocolate mixture.
- Finish by sprinkling grated white chocolate on top and refrigerate. Ideally, let it chill overnight to soften the ladyfingers, making the dessert ready to serve the next day, unveiling a rhapsody of flavors.
Enjoy!
