Ingredients
Scale
- 500g fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 100g granulated sugar (for macerating strawberries)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for strawberries)
- 250g mascarpone cheese, chilled
- 200ml heavy cream (whipping cream), chilled
- 75g powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200ml water
- 50ml strawberry liqueur (or strawberry syrup)
- 200g ladyfingers (savoiardi biscuits)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries with 100g granulated sugar and lemon juice. Let them macerate for at least 30 minutes, or until juicy.
- Prepare the soaking liquid: In a separate shallow dish, combine 200ml water and strawberry liqueur (or syrup).
- In a large chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream until just combined and smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
- Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the strawberry soaking liquid, ensuring it’s moistened but not soggy.
- Arrange a single layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of a 9×13 inch (or similar) serving dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
- Spoon half of the macerated strawberries (including their juices) over the cream layer.
- Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, the remaining mascarpone cream, and the rest of the strawberries.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves or a few whole strawberries, if desired.
Notes
For an extra burst of strawberry flavor, you can blend some of the macerated strawberries into a puree and drizzle it over the top before serving.
