Ingredients
- 9 sheets of no-boil lasagna noodles
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of mascarpone cheese

- 1 cup of raspberry puree (fresh or store-bought)
- 1 cup of fresh raspberries, for layering and garnish
- Mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
How to Make Raspberry Cream Lasagna
- Begin by preparing the raspberry puree. If using fresh raspberries, blend 1 cup in a food processor until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- In a 9×13 inch dish, spread a thin layer of raspberry puree on the bottom. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top of the puree, slightly overlapping them.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of raspberry puree and half of the fresh raspberries.
- Repeat the layering process: add another layer of noodles, the remaining mascarpone mixture, more raspberry puree, and the rest of the fresh raspberries.
- Top with the final layer of lasagna noodles and spread any remaining raspberry puree over the top. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set.
- Before serving, remove from the refrigerator and garnish with additional fresh raspberries and mint leaves if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the heavy cream is well-chilled for better whipping.
- Let the dessert chill for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for optimal flavor and texture.
- For a sweeter touch, adjust the amount of powdered sugar in the mascarpone mixture to your taste.
- Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the best flavor.
Easy Variations
- Substitute the raspberries with strawberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.
- Add layers of lemon curd for a citrusy zing.
- Incorporate crushed graham crackers between layers for added texture.
- Drizzle with chocolate sauce for a decadent finish.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added creaminess.
- A cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea to complement the dessert.
- A fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- Sparkling water with lime for a bubbly drink option.
