4.1 from 35 reviews

This Strawberry Tiramisu is a delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert, replacing coffee with fresh strawberries for a fruity, refreshing flavor. Layers of mascarpone cream, whipped to perfection, combined with macerated strawberries and ladyfingers soaked in strawberry juice make this dessert light, creamy, and perfect for spring and summer gatherings.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes (including chilling time)
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Strawberry Mixture

  • 1 pound strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Mascarpone Cream

  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Assembly

  • 24 ladyfingers (savoiardi biscuits)
  • Extra strawberries, for garnish
  • Fresh mint, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Mixture: In a bowl, combine the hulled and sliced strawberries with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Stir gently and allow to macerate at room temperature for about 30 minutes until the strawberries release their juice and become soft.
  2. Make the Mascarpone Cream: In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, soften the mascarpone cheese slightly. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone until smooth and creamy, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  3. Assemble the Tiramisu: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the strawberry juice from the macerated strawberries to soak. Lay a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of your serving dish (about 8×8 inches or similar). Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers evenly. Spoon half of the macerated strawberries and some of their juice over the cream layer.
  4. Repeat Layers: Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top of the strawberries. Spread the remaining mascarpone cream over this layer. Finally, spoon the remaining strawberries on top for garnish.
  5. Chill and Serve: Cover and refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set. Before serving, garnish with extra fresh strawberries and sprigs of mint for a vibrant finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Quickly dip the ladyfingers to avoid sogginess; they should be moist but not falling apart.
  • For a lighter version, use reduced-fat mascarpone and cream.
  • This dessert is best served within 1-2 days to maintain freshness and texture.
  • You can substitute lemon juice with a splash of orange juice for a different citrus profile.
