Prepare the Raspberry Puree

Blend raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a blender until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, then set aside.

Make the Mascarpone Cream

In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, whisk mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until combined.

Assemble the Tiramisu

Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee, arranging them in a layer at the bottom of a serving dish. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers, drizzle with half of the raspberry puree, and repeat the layers.

Chill

Cover and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours, or overnight, allowing flavors to meld beautifully.
