Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Strawberry Filling

Chop the strawberries into small pieces and mix them with sugar and citric acid. *Cook* the mixture for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened. Allow it to cool completely.

Step 2

Make the Cream

Combine all cream ingredients in a bowl. *Whip* the mixture until it reaches soft peaks, ensuring it's smooth and fluffy.

Step 3

Assemble the Tiramisu

*Soak* the Savoiardi cookies in espresso and place a layer at the bottom of your serving dish. *Spread* a layer of strawberry filling over the cookies, followed by a generous layer of cream. Add another layer of espresso-soaked cookies, more strawberry filling, and finish with the remaining cream.

*Refrigerate* the tiramisu to set for 30-40 minutes before serving.

Equipment

Electric Hand Mixer

This is essential for achieving the perfect soft peaks in your cream. Make sure your mixer attachments are clean and dry for the best results.

Refrigerator-Safe Dish

Choose a glass or ceramic dish for assembling the tiramisu. Transparent sides allow you to showcase the beautiful layers!

Espresso Maker

Ensure you have freshly brewed espresso for the most authentic flavor. If you don’t own an espresso maker, strong brewed coffee works as a substitute.

Variations

Gluten-Free Version 🌿
Substitute regular savoiardi biscuits with gluten-free ladyfingers found at many grocery stores or make your own at home.

Vegan Delight 🌱
Exchange mascarpone with a vegan cream cheese alternative and use coconut cream in place of dairy cream. Also, opt for a plant-based biscuit for layering. Make sure your sugar is vegan, too, to keep everything in check.

Faq

  • What can I use if I don't have savoiardi biscuits?

    You can use sponge cake slices or even graham crackers as an alternative, although the texture will vary slightly.

  • How long should I chill the tiramisu before serving?

    Allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30-40 minutes to let the flavors meld beautifully and the texture to set.

  • Can I prepare the tiramisu the night before?

    Absolutely! Preparing it the night before allows more time for the flavors to combine, offering a more profound taste.

  • Should the espresso be hot or cold when soaking the biscuits?

    Ensure the espresso is cool before soaking to prevent the biscuits from becoming too soggy and losing their shape.

  • How can I ensure my cream reaches soft peaks?

    Use well-chilled cream and mascarpone, and start at a low speed, gradually increasing to prevent over-whipping.

  • Can I add chocolate to the recipe?

    Of course! A layer of grated chocolate or a dusting of cocoa powder could add a delightful bitter note that complements the sweetness of the strawberries.
