Description
A fresh and creamy no-bake dessert made with layers of soft ladyfingers, sweet strawberries, and fluffy mascarpone cream. This strawberry tiramisu is light, fruity, elegant, and perfect for spring and summer gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 package ladyfingers
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 16 oz mascarpone cheese
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam or strawberry puree
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup milk or strawberry syrup for dipping
- Extra fresh strawberries for topping
Instructions
- Wash and slice the strawberries. Toss part of the strawberries with lemon juice and a little powdered sugar, then let them sit for 10 minutes to release their juices.
- In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Add mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Mix until smooth and fluffy.
- Spread a thin layer of mascarpone cream at the bottom of a serving dish.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into milk, strawberry syrup, or strawberry juice and arrange them in a single layer.
- Spread a layer of mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
- Add a layer of sliced strawberries.
- Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a smooth cream layer on top.
- Decorate with extra fresh strawberries.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- Chilling overnight gives the best texture and flavor.
- Fresh strawberries work best, but thawed and drained frozen strawberries can also be used.
- Use strawberry syrup for a sweeter dessert or milk for a lighter flavor.
- Add lemon or orange zest to the cream for extra freshness.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freezing is not recommended because strawberries may become watery after thawing.
