Equipment

A large one works best for mixing your mascarpone and cream. Tip: Chill it slightly in the fridge for better whipping results.

Instructions

Step 1

Step 1: Wash the strawberries, dry them with a towel, and puree them with a blender. Make sure to remove any stems before blending.

Step 2

Step 2: Add sugar to the strawberry puree, put it over the heat, and bring it to the first bubbles. Let it cool. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Step 3: Whip chilled cream with powdered sugar and mascarpone until smooth. Ensure the whipping cream is chilled for better volume.

Step 4

Step 4: Dip each savoiardi biscuit in the strawberry puree. Arrange the biscuits in rows. I used a square detachable mold; it turned out to be 2 rows of 7 pcs.

Step 5

Step 5: Spread half of the cream mixture on top of the first layer of biscuits.

Step 6

Step 6: Repeat these steps one more time to form the second layer.

Step 7

Step 7: Put the dessert in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Step 8

Step 8: Sprinkle the top with toasted almonds before serving.

Faq

How do I know when the cream is whipped enough?
When it forms stiff peaks and holds its shape, it's ready! Avoid over-whipping to keep it from turning grainy.
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes, but make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in your tiramisu.
What can I do if my puree is too runny?
Cook it a bit longer to let more water evaporate, ensuring it thickens up.
Can I make this tiramisu ahead of time?
Absolutely! Tiramisu tastes even better when it has time for the flavors to meld. Make it a day ahead for best results.
How can I make my layers more even?
Use a spatula to gently press down on the biscuits and smooth the cream. Measuring helps too!
Any tips to speed up the cooling process of the puree?
Spread it out on a baking sheet to cool faster or place it in the fridge for a bit.
