Description

Fresh & Creamy Strawberry Tiramisu is a luscious dessert that perfectly balances the rich creaminess of mascarpone and whipped cream with the vibrant sweetness of fresh strawberries. This no-bake treat layers juicy strawberries and delicate ladyfinger biscuits soaked in strawberry juices for a light, refreshing twist on classic tiramisu. Easy to prepare and stunning to present, it is perfect for any occasion and can be customized to suit dietary preferences.


Ingredients

Strawberries

  • Fresh Strawberries, sliced – 2 cups
  • Sugar (for macerating strawberries) – 1 tablespoon
  • Lemon Juice – 1 teaspoon

Cream Mixture

  • Mascarpone Cheese – 1 cup (8 oz)
  • Heavy Cream – 1 cup (240 ml)
  • Sugar – 1/3 cup (65 g)
  • Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon
  • Lemon Zest (optional) – 1 teaspoon

Base

  • Ladyfinger Biscuits (Savoiardi) – 24 pieces (about 200 g)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and slice fresh strawberries into thin pieces. Toss them lightly with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Set aside to macerate and develop natural juices.
  2. Whip the Cream and Mascarpone: In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in 1 cup mascarpone cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and optional lemon zest until mixture is smooth, creamy, and airy, creating a luscious filling.
  3. Layer the Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger biscuit into the strawberry juice (from the macerated strawberries), avoiding soaking too long to prevent sogginess. Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of your serving dish.
  4. Add Cream and Strawberries: Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers, then scatter a handful of sliced strawberries on top. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a creamy top layer.
  5. Chill and Serve: Cover the tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and ladyfingers to soak up the creamy strawberry essence.

Notes

  • Use the freshest, ripest strawberries for the sweetest flavor.
  • Chill bowls and beaters before whipping cream for better texture.
  • Dip ladyfingers quickly to keep them tender but not soggy.
  • Allow tiramisu to rest overnight for optimal flavor melding.
  • Layer evenly for a balanced and visually appealing dessert.
