**Beeren Tiramisu Kuchen**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup fresh mixed berries (such as raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries)
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup water
– 1/2 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
– 1 package ladyfingers (approx. 24 pieces)
– 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Cocoa powder, for dusting
**Instructions:**
1. In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
2. In a shallow dish, pour the brewed espresso or coffee. Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture quickly, ensuring they are soaked but not overly soggy. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of an 8×8 inch square baking dish.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
4. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers in the baking dish. Drizzle half of the berry sauce on top of the mascarpone layer.
5. Repeat the process with another layer of soaked ladyfingers, the remaining mascarpone mixture, and the rest of the berry sauce.
6. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together and the dessert to set.
7. Before serving, dust the top of the Beeren Tiramisu Kuchen with cocoa powder for an extra touch of elegance and flavor.
