Ingredients:

Mascarpone Filling:

• 1 ½ cup heavy cream
• 16 ounces mascarpone cheese 
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp Amoretti® Natural Blackberry Artisan Flavor
• 1 teaspoon Amoretti® Vanilla Madagascar Bourbon "European Style" (with Alcohol)
• 2-3 drops of purple food color, optional

For Assembly:

• 1 (7 oz) package ladyfingers (about 24)
• 3 cups of earl grey tea, steeped

Optional: Blackberry Compote

• 2 cups of blackberries, rinsed & dried
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 pinch salt

Instructions

For the Filling:

1. In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or a large bowl with a hand mixer, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Transfer to another bowl and set aside.
2. If using a stand mixer, switch to the paddle attachment. In the mixer bowl combine the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, Amoretti® Natural Blackberry Artisan Flavor, and Amoretti® Vanilla Madagascar Bourbon. Whip until combined.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined and smooth. 

Assembling the Tiramisu:

1. Prior to assembling, steep the earl grey tea in 8 ounces of hot water for 5 minutes.
2. Once steeped, begin by dipping the ladyfingers in the earl grey tea. Be quick to avoid soggy fingers; just a swift dip on each side will do. Arrange a layer of tea-soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of your serving dish.
3. Spread half of the mascarpone filling over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of tea-soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone filling.
4. Optional: transfer the remaining mascarpone filling into a piping back fitted with an open star tip and pipe little bits across the top of the tiramisu.

Optional: Prepare the Blackberry Compote:

1. For an extra burst of blackberry flavor, you can prepare a simple compote. In a small saucepan, combine the blackberries, white sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat until the berries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool before using.

Chill and Serve:

1. Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set. Before serving, you can top the tiramisu with the optional blackberry compote for an elegant finish.
