Mixed-Berry Tiramisù with Lime Curd image

This luxurious treat is somewhere between a trifle, a tiramisù, and a summer pudding. The lime gives it a wonderful brightness.

Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Berries:
3 cups fresh blueberries (17 ounces)
1 cup fresh raspberries (41/2 to 5 ounces)
1 cup fresh blackberries (5 to 6 ounces)
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 cup thinly sliced fresh strawberries
Syrup and ladyfinger layer:
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
3 1 1/2-inch-long strips lime peel (green part only; shaved with vegetable peeler)
1 7-ounce package crisp ladyfingers (savoiardi, Boudoirs, or Champagne biscuits; do not use soft ladyfingers)*
Mascarpone topping:
2 1/2 8-ounce containers mascarpone cheese**
1/2 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
Lime Curd

Steps:

  • For berries:
  • Combine blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, powdered sugar, and 1/2 cup water in large saucepan. Bring to simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until berries are soft but still intact, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Transfer mixture to large bowl; stir in lime juice. Cool to room temperature. Stir strawberries into berry mixture. Chill until cold, about 4 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep chilled.
  • For syrup and ladyfinger layer:
  • Combine 1/3 cup water, 1/3 cup sugar, and lime peel strips in small saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Pour syrup into bowl. Cool to room temperature; discard lime peel.
  • Using pastry brush, brush ladyfingers on both sides with syrup. Arrange in single layer in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish, cutting to fit and covering bottom of dish completely. Pour chilled berry mixture over.
  • For mascarpone topping:
  • Combine mascarpone and cream in large bowl. Using electric mixer, beat until smooth and slightly thickened (do not overbeat or mixture may curdle). Add Lime Curd; beat just until blended. Drop mascarpone topping by large spoonfuls over berry mixture. Spread evenly, covering berries completely. Cover and chill at least 8 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
  • Spoon tiramisù into bowls and serve.
  • Available at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Italian markets.
  • ** An Italian cream cheese; sold at many supermarkets and at Italian markets.

This tiramisu is the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The lime curd adds a nice tang that keeps the dessert from being too cloying.

I would recommend using fresh berries for this recipe. They add a much brighter flavor than frozen berries.

This tiramisu is very rich, so a little goes a long way. I would recommend serving it in small portions.

I'm not a big fan of lime curd, so I omitted it from the recipe. The tiramisu was still very good.

I had some trouble finding ladyfingers, but I was able to use graham crackers instead. The tiramisu still turned out great.

This tiramisu was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The lime curd was a nice touch.

This tiramisu was a hit at my party! The flavors were so well-balanced and the lime curd added a nice tartness that cut through the sweetness of the mascarpone. I will definitely be making this again.
