A no-bake Charlotte Cake made with ladyfingers, whipped mascarpone cream, fresh raspberries, and pistachios. Light, elegant, and perfect for any celebration.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 to 30 ladyfingers
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup crushed pistachios

Instructions

  1. Chill mixing bowl and beaters for best whipping results.
  2. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, smooth out mascarpone cheese, then fold it into the whipped cream.
  3. Line the sides of a springform pan with ladyfingers (standing vertically) and place ladyfingers flat on the bottom to form a base layer.
  4. Spread half of the cream mixture over the base. Add a few berries if desired. Repeat with the remaining cream.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
  6. Just before serving, decorate with piped cream, raspberries, crushed pistachios, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
  7. Gently release from springform pan, slice, and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, lightly dip ladyfingers in juice or flavored syrup before assembling.
  • Use fresh, firm berries to maintain structure and avoid bleeding into the cream.
  • Pipe the cream for a more elegant finish.
