Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine frozen raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 23-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and bubbles. Remove from heat and cool completely.
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar, water, and frozen raspberries. Bring to a simmer over medium heat for about 3 minutes, stirring until sugar dissolves. Strain syrup and let it cool.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla paste until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to medium-stiff peaks and fold into mascarpone mixture.
- Dip ladyfingers briefly in the cooled raspberry syrup and layer half in the bottom of a rectangular baking dish. Spread half of the mascarpone filling over the layer. Repeat with remaining ingredients, finishing with mascarpone on top.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
- After chilling, remove plastic wrap, top with remaining raspberry jam, and garnish with fresh raspberries and lemon slices. Serve chilled.

Notes
Chill overnight for best flavors. Avoid soaking ladyfingers too long to maintain texture. Use cold mascarpone for a smoother filling. Adjust sugar based on raspberry sweetness. Garnish creatively for presentation.
