Decoration Tips:

• Powdered Sugar Dusting: A light dusting of powdered sugar over the top can add a snowy effect, perfect for a more wintery presentation.

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:

1. With a mixer, beat the mascarpone cheese, Greek yogurt, and powdered sugar together. Then incorporate the melted white chocolate.
2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form and fold it into the cheese mixture.
3. For the raspberry layer, blend the raspberries with lemon juice and powdered sugar until smooth.
4. 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.
5. 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!
