- Spread half of the mascarpone-white chocolate cream over the ladyfingers.
- Add a layer of fresh raspberries. Repeat layers.
- Chill:
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor and texture.
- Garnish and Serve:

Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, skip the raspberry liqueur.
