Blackberry Tiramisu with Chocolate Sauce

This blackberry tiramisu with chocolate sauce is a creamy, no bake dessert with coffee soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, blackberries, and a drizzle of chocolate.

Tiramisu has always been a special dessert in our home, but I wanted to try something different. The idea of adding fresh blackberries and drizzling it with chocolate sauce sounded too good to pass up. The result was a creamy, indulgent treat with a little tartness from the berries that balanced out the sweetness.

When I served this version to my family, it was gone in no time. Everyone loved the surprise of juicy blackberries tucked between the layers of mascarpone cream and coffee soaked ladyfingers. The chocolate sauce gave it that extra finishing touch that made it feel even more luxurious.

This blackberry tiramisu has quickly become a recipe I make when I want to impress without too much effort. It is easy enough for a weekday treat but elegant enough for gatherings. It is the kind of dessert that makes people smile and ask for seconds.
