Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Strawberries

Start by washing the fresh strawberries thoroughly. Then, slice them into halves or quarters depending on your preference.

In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. Let them sit for about 10 minutes until they release their juices, creating a flavorful syrup.

Step 2

Make the Tiramisu Cream

In a separate mixing bowl, add the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, blend the ingredients on medium speed until soft peaks form.

This will create a light and creamy texture perfect for layering.

Step 3

Assemble the Tiramisu

Begin by dipping each ladyfinger biscuit into the cooled coffee for a few seconds. Be careful not to soak them too long; they should be moist, but not soggy.

In a serving dish, lay down a layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by a layer of strawberry and its juices. Then, spread a generous layer of tiramisu cream on top.

Step 4

Repeat the Layers

Continue layering until you run out of ingredients, ending with the tiramisu cream on top. Smooth it out for a nice finish.

Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

Before serving, you can garnish the top with extra strawberries or a dusting of cocoa if you'd like. Spoon out servings and share this incredible summer dessert with friends and family.

Indulge in your delicious summer strawberry tiramisu!

Enjoy your dessert no matter your dietary preferences!

Faq

  • What if my strawberries are too sweet?

    Try balancing the sweetness by adding a splash of lemon juice to your cream mixture. This will enhance the flavor of the strawberries!

  • Can I make this dessert a day ahead?

    Absolutely! In fact, this dessert typically tastes even better when made the day before. Just keep it refrigerated and cover it well!

  • How can I make sure my cream is fluffy?

    Ensure the mixing bowl and whisk are cold before whipping. Chill them for a bit before use for the best results!

  • Can I add different fruits?

    Yes! Feel free to mix in or substitute with other berries like blueberries or raspberries for a colorful twist!

  • What can I do if my ladyfingers crumble?

    Pushing them gently into your layer of cream will help bind them, but be careful not to over-saturate them!

  • Can I use a different type of cream?

    Yes! Any whipped cream will work, but keep in mind the flavor; plain cream will allow the strawberries' flavor to shine.
