Strawberry tiramisu’ is a super easy, no-bake Italian dessert that comes together in minutes and is packed with sweet and juicy strawberry flavor!
Serving: 12
Calories: 398kcal
Ingredients
For the strawberry sauce:
- 600 gr strawberries, + extra to decorate
- 40 g sugar, approx ½ US cup
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
For the strawberry tiramisu’:
Instructions
-
Place the strawberries in a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer the strawberry puree, sugar and lemon juice to a sauce pan and bring to a boil, removing the foam when necessary. When the sauce has slightly thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
-
Place the mascarpone cheese in a large bowl and whisk until creamy. Fold in the zabaglione cream and gently mix until combined and refrigerate until ready to use.
-
Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the strawberry coulis, then place in a rectangular 9-inch baking dish, and continue the process until the whole base is covered with ladyfingers. If necessary, break the cookies to fill the base up.
-
Spread half of the prepared mascarpone cream gently over the ladyfingers, making sure they’re evenly covered. You can use a spatula or large spoon to help you with this.
-
Repeat the process of soaking the ladyfingers in the strawberry sauce, then layer them over the cream, until is fully covered.
-
Finally, spread evenly the remaining mascarpone cream on top of the ladyfingers.
-
Place the strawberry tiramisu in the fridge, and allow to set for at least a couple of hours, or overnight. Decorate with chopped strawberries and serve.
Notes
Yes, you can substitute it with a sponge cake or angel cake.
Cut the cake into 1cm (½ inch) thick slices and let them dry overnight on a wire rack ( or place them in the oven at 100 C for about half an hour). Then cut the slices into fingers or sticks, and proceed with the recipe.
What if my Tiramisu is soggy and runny?
There are a few reasons you might have ended up with a soggy Tiramisu’:
• You might have overworked the mascarpone cream. Try mixing it delicately and incorporate gently the lemon posset cream.
• Your ladyfingers soaked too much strawberry sauce. Avoid dipping the savoiardi for too long.
However, please don’t cry over a runny Tiramisu. Place it in the freezer for a couple of hours and serve it as a “frozen dessert”!
