INGREDIENTS
 

White chocolate cream:

  • 9 ounces/250 grams mascarpone cheese, cold
  • 7 ounces/200 grams white chocolate, finely chopped
  • cup/70 grams granulated sugar
  • 1⅞ cups/450 grams heavy cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Raspberry layer:

  • cups/300 grams raspberries, fresh or frozen
  • tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons water

Cake:

  • 14 ounces/400 grams tea biscuits or graham-style cookies

Topping:

  • ounces/150 grams white chocolate, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Place the white chocolate for the cream in a heatproof bowl set over barely simmering water and stir until melted. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries have broken down and the mixture has thickened slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla on medium-high speed until medium peaks form. Fold in the cooled white chocolate until fully incorporated and smooth.
  • Arrange a single layer of cookies in the bottom of an 8-by-12-inch/20-by-30-centimeter baking dish. Spread half the raspberry mixture over the cookies, then half the cream. Repeat with another layer of cookies, the remaining raspberry mixture, and the remaining cream. Top with a final layer of cookies.
  • Place the white chocolate and heavy cream for the topping in a heatproof bowl and melt until smooth. Pour over the cake and spread evenly. Spoon any remaining raspberry mixture decoratively over the surface.
  • Cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours and preferably overnight.
  • Serve chilled. The cake can be refrigerated, covered, for up to 4 days.
