Strawberry Tiramisu is a delicious and easy dessert that combines the creamy goodness of mascarpone cheese with fresh strawberries.
This no-bake treat is perfect for parties, special occasions, or just a sweet indulgence at home. Here’s a simple guide to making your own Strawberry Tiramisu.
<h3>Ingredients</h3>
<b>For the Mascarpone Filling:</b>
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 8 ounces mascarpone cheese (a creamy Italian cheese)
<b>For the Strawberry Sauce:</b>
• ½ cup strawberry jam (without seeds)
• ¼ cup Grand Marnier (or you can use orange juice)
• ¼ cup water
<b>For Assembly:</b>
• 1 package of ladyfingers (about 24 pieces)
• 1 pound fresh strawberries, sliced
• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
<h3>Equipment Needed</h3>
• A baking dish (9 x 9 inches works well)
• Mixing bowls
• A hand mixer or whisk
• A spatula
<h3>Instructions</h3>
<b>Step 1: Make the Mascarpone Filling</b>
1. In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
2. Use a hand mixer to beat the mixture until it forms stiff peaks. This means it should hold its shape when you lift the mixer out (this takes about 2 minutes).
3. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until everything is mixed well. Set this mixture aside.
<b>Step 2: Prepare the Strawberry Sauce</b>
In another bowl, mix together the strawberry jam, Grand Marnier (or orange juice), and water. Stir until it’s smooth. This sauce will help soak the ladyfingers.
<b>Step 3: Assemble the Tiramisu</b>
1. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the strawberry sauce—don’t soak them too long, or they will get too soggy.
2. Place half of the dipped ladyfingers in a single layer at the base of your baking dish.
3. Spread half of the mascarpone filling over the ladyfingers using a spatula.
4. Place half of the sliced strawberries over the filling.
5. Repeat this process: add another layer of dipped ladyfingers, then spread on the remaining mascarpone filling, and top with the rest of the strawberries.
6. Cover your dish with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, or even better, 24 hours.
<b>Step 4: Serve and Enjoy</b>
1. Before serving, you can add extra sliced strawberries on top for decoration.
2. Dust with powdered sugar if you like.
<h3>Tips for Success</h3>
• Make Ahead: This dessert tastes even better when made a day in advance.
• Storage: Store any remaining food in the refrigerator, ensuring it is covered, for a maximum of two days.
• Variations: You can try using other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for different flavors.
Enjoy your Strawberry Tiramisu—it's a delightful treat that everyone will love!
