All I can say is YUM to this particular recipe. It's not a traditional Italian Tiramisu, but I gave it a twist with some fresh strawberries. It's easy to make and it goes back into my dessert roots. Enjoy this with friends or that special someone!

How To Make strawberry tiramisu

  • Step 1
    Cut off the tops of the strawberries and slice the berries. Reserve 2 large whole berries for garnish.
  • Step 2
    In a blender, place 2 cups of strawberries and 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar; blend to puree and set aside.
  • Step 3
    In a medium bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, 1/4 cup cream, 1/4 cup sugar, and liqueur; beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until thickened.
  • Step 4
    Place 6 ladyfingers on a serving plate and brush each with approximately 1 teaspoon cold espresso coffee. Spread or pipe out 1/2 of the cheese mixture over the ladyfingers, and layer with half of the sliced strawberries.
  • Step 5
    Repeat with the next 6 ladyfingers, espresso, remaining cheese mixture, and sliced strawberries; top with remaining 6 ladyfingers.
  • Step 6
    In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons sugar; beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until just whipped, approximately 1 minute. Spread cream evenly over top layer of ladyfingers.
  • Step 7
    Dust cocoa over whipped cream, and garnish with 2 reserved strawberries. Pour strawberry puree onto two serving plates. Cut tiramisu in half, and place onto puree.
  • Step 8
    If you would like, you can refrigerate prior to serving. Refrigerates overnight...BEAUTIFULLY!
