Extra fresh blackberries, for garnish
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Combine blackberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until berries are softened and release their juices, about 5–7 minutes. Let cool slightly, then puree until smooth.
02 -
In a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, whisk egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar until thick and pale, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat. Fold in mascarpone and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks and gently fold into the mascarpone mixture.
03 -
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into blackberry puree, ensuring a light soak without oversaturation.
04 -
Arrange half the soaked ladyfingers in a single layer in a baking dish. Spread half the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and remaining mascarpone cream.

Scatter extra fresh blackberries over the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing flavors to meld and ladyfingers to soften.
