This lemon raspberry tiramisu puts a spin on a classic Italian dessert – and opens up a whole new world of possibilities for the chocolate and coffee haters! Ladies and gents, I give you the best lemon raspberry tiramisu in the entire world.
I have always LOVED tiramisu. The coffee, the cocoa, the creaminess. YUM. It has always baffled me that others don’t appreciate coffee/chocolate. For all of you out there, this raspberry lemon tiramisu is for you. NO coffee. NO chocolate. It’s my husband’s dream dessert actually.

Lemon Raspberry Tiramisu
I’m always astounded by the amount of international food (more specifically, Italian food) World Market carries. I can always go in and find a new International treasure.
For this lemon raspberry tiramisu recipe, we really just switched up a few components. Instead of coffee, I dipped the Ladyfingers in raspberry Torani syrup. Then we added some Raspberry curd and Lemon curd in between the traditional custard/mascarpone and whipped cream layers….voila! Lemon Raspberry tiramisu.
Lemon Raspberry Goodness
I must digress for a second – have I missed the boat? How did I never know that Lemon Raspberry was a thing? The Lemon Raspberry combination is so delicious and I have not had it very often! MISSING OUT!!
My mom asked, “Isn’t this lemon raspberry tiramisu more like a trifle?” And instantly I thought of the FRIENDS episode when Rachel makes the “traditional” English trifle (the episode is technically called “The One Where Ross Got High”). She’s explaining the layers: “…there’s a layer of ladyfingers, then a layer of jam, then custard – which I made from scratch! Raspberries, more ladyfingers, then beef sautéed with peas and onions, more custard, then I’ll put some whipped cream on top!”
I’ve included a few more FRIENDS quotes – because I’m awesome like that and it makes me laugh. Enjoy!
Ross: Meat on a dessert? That is not possible.
Joey: I know, and only one layer of jam? What is up with that?
Ross: It tastes like feet!
Joey: Well, I like it.
Ross: Are you kidding?
Joey: I mean, what’s not to like? Custard, good. Jam, good. Meat, good!
Sadly, there’s no meat or peas on this dessert – but it is packed full of lemon and raspberry awesome-ness. It’s an awesome end to a meal or breakfast. Either way!
