Ingredients
Blueberry Syrup:
4 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
½ cup water
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Mascarpone Filling:
1 ½ cups heavy cream
16 ounces mascarpone cheese (cold or room temp.)
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract
¾ cup blueberry syrup (from recipe above)
For Assembly:
1 (7 oz) package Savoiardi ladyfingers (about 24)
Instructions
Make the Blueberry Syrup: Place blueberries and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Crush the berries, simmer, strain, and mix with sugar and lemon juice. Chill.
Make the Filling: Whip cream, mix mascarpone, sugar, vanilla, and almond extract. Gradually add blueberry syrup and whipped cream.
Assemble Tiramisu: Dip ladyfingers in syrup, arrange in dish, layer with filling, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
Notes
Since there will be a little leftover syrup, you can sprinkle 1-2 Tablespoons extra syrup on top of the already-soaked ladyfingers to infuse them with more of that wonderful blueberry syrup.
Depending on the size of your ladyfingers, you might have to cut them. I suggest cutting them AFTER they’ve been dipped in the syrup since they soften and become easier to cut without breaking.
