This luxurious treat is somewhere between a trifle, a tiramisù, and a summer pudding. The lime gives it a wonderful brightness. Ingredients:
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 |
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) |
2 1/2 8-ounce containers mascarpone cheese |
1/2 cup chilled heavy whipping cream |
Directions:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Spoon tiramisù into bowls and serve.
