Hi Bold Bakers! Tiramisu is an absolutely iconic Italian dessert. Recently I took this rich treat and made it into a 10-minute wonder dessert with my Easy 10 Minute Tiramisu Recipe. My tiramisu recipe was such a big hit that I decided to take the flavors of traditional tiramisu and brighten them up for the summer season. My 10-Minute Berry Tiramisu is packed with sweet fruit flavor thanks to my homemade berry syrup and a super fresh batch of summer mixed berries. The combination of creamy mascarpone mousse, the light crunch of ladyfingers, and tangy fruit is so yummy and festive. Whip up my tiramisu recipe and discover one of the absolute best summer recipes.

What is a Berry Tiramisu?
Tiramisu is a super simple and rich trifle-like dessert that, rather than layering up cake and creamy filling, is designed by layering rich mascarpone mousse, ladyfinger cookies, amaretto liquor, and cocoa powder. While I love all of these flavors in tiramisu, I really feel like I’ve won by making one simple update to the famous dessert. Not only have I quickened the process of making our favorite Italian dessert, but I’ve added a layer of syrup-soaked raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries. This berry soak is easily made by creating a simple syrup consisting of 1 part sugar to about 2 parts of water, then allowing the mixed berries to soak in it so that the sweet liquid is infused with the fruit. Once I strain the berries from the syrup, the liquid then replaces the amaretto liquor found in my 10-Minute Tiramisu and heightens the berry flavor of my newer creation. And who could really say no to berry-dipped ladyfingers smothered in a mascarpone and cream mousse?
What can I substitute for mascarpone cheese?
Mascarpone cheese is an ultra-creamy and soft Italian cheese. Although mascarpone can be used for both sweet and savory cooking, its neutral flavor and luxurious texture really lends itself to sweet desserts. When whipped up with whipping cream and sugar, mascarpone takes on the form of a stunning and light mousse. This mousse combined with the berries is truly next level. There is really no ideal substitute for this unique cheese but you could use cream cheese instead if you wish.
What berries are best for summer desserts?
If you haven’t noticed already, the berries are what sets this 10-Minute Berry Tiramisu apart from the rest. I love the bright flavor of the mix of fresh blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. That being said, feel free to use whatever berries you and your family like! Berries are in season from May through August so no matter which berries you choose, be sure to take advantage of the season’s best. Or, you could even use frozen berries which are picked at the height of the season, and enjoy this easy dessert recipe any time you want.
